( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hi,
at some other forum we had the discussion which is the fastest way to read all files of a directory
  • opendir $DIR, $folder; while(my $file = readdir $DIR) ...
  • foreach my $file (glob "$folder/*") ...
  • opendir $DIR, $folder; my @files = grep { ... } readdir $DIR; foreach my $file (@files) ...
i prefered 1 over 3 because i thought 1 must be faster since 3 will walk all files (at least) twice. so i made a benchmark:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Benchmark qw(:all); my %folders = ( Temp1 => 10, Temp2 => 100, Temp3 => 1000, Temp4 => 5000, Temp5 => 10000, # Temp6 => 20000, ); foreach my $folder (sort keys %folders) { print "Folder: $folder, Files: ", $folders{$folder}, "\n"; timethese(5, { 'Way 1' => sub { opendir(my $DIR, $folder) or die "Error: couldn't open dir + '$folder': $!\n"; while(my $file = readdir $DIR) { my $filename = "$folder/$file"; if(-f $filename) { # print STDERR "$filename\n"; } } closedir($DIR); }, 'Way 2' => sub { foreach my $file (glob "$folder/*") { my $filename = $file; if(-f $filename) { # print STDERR "$filename\n"; } } }, 'Way 3' => sub { opendir(my $DIR, $folder) or die "Error: couldn't open dir + '$folder': $!\n"; my @files = map { "$folder/$_" } grep { -f "$folder/$_" } readdir($DIR); closedir($DIR); foreach my $file (@files) { my $filename = $file; # print STDERR "$filename\n"; } }, }); }
the result does not make sence to me, but maybe you can tell me why

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
