Hi,

    When some one wants to you use the OS related operations, they will try to use "system" function. It will be easier for them to use. But, when you use those functions, it will be executed by the shell, and the value will be returned. That will definitely increase system load. Instead of that you can use the builtin functions which is available in perl itself. But, here you need to find out the appropriate module and have to use the correct function. When you go for the builtin functions, it wont take much time compared to the system functions.
