Subject: Need scripting or redirection help in BASH


A day or two ago, I noticed that somewhere in my effort to get
acquainted with my Debian box, a few hundred files of type 'c'
(character, as opposed to regular or block) had shown up in my home
directory.  All were created 12/21/01.  My wish is to be rid of them.  I
did:

$ ls -l | grep "Dec 21" | less

and inspected the lot.  There should be a way to delete these files
using grep and redirection/piping or a shell script.  My thought is some
kind of iterative script, in pseudo code:

for x in ( ls -l | grep "Dec 21" )
    do 
        rm x( suitably parsed )
    done
exit 

I haven't even begun to take on sh, bash, perl or any other scripting
language yet.  So I would really appreciate some help on this.
