err, NO!

That one is a little subtle. If your change were correct, the Perl compiler
would not have complained (sub compareLOGName was declared before this point,
so a function call "compareLOGName @files" should not have parsed as a bareword
but rather as a list operator).

Actually, the original statement is passing both the subname "compareLOGName"
and @files to the sort operator. I don't know why Perl 5.10.0 complains about
that. I would first try leaving out the ()

        return sort compareLOGName @files;

(actually, this gets rid of a warning (!) in 5.8.8, so I would suggest this to
be changed anyway) and, if that doesn't help, something like

        my $comparison = \&compareLOGName;
        return sort($comparison @files);

Regards,
Holger
