You are right, it takes almost 15 minute which is too much

below is complete code.

sub GetINDirFiles {
        my ($path) = @_;

        opendir DIR, $path or die $!;
        my @files = readdir DIR;
        my @files = grep {!/\_ACK_/} readdir DIR;
        closedir DIR;

        return(@files);
}

sub GetOUTDirFiles {
        my ($path) = @_;

        opendir DIR, $path or die $!;
        my @files = readdir DIR;
        my @files = grep {/\_ACK.xml$/} readdir DIR;
        closedir DIR;

        return(@files);
}

my @delindex;

my @infiles = &GetINDirFiles($inpath);
my @outfiles = &GetOUTDirFiles($outpath);

my $index = 0; # index used to get string position in array
foreach my $infile (@infiles) {

        my $diff = ($currenttime - $mtime);

        if ($diff > $timethreshold) {

i need to do it on regular interval like 5 minute or 15 minute, using an tool i use. so it really does not make sense if i check the files which i have already checked and i would not mind if this completes in minute or less then this but 15 minute is really too much

kindly assist
