Dear Monks,

I am writing a search engine to sort through a lot of data. I have developed a loop that is working fine but it is very slow. Thus, I will like any suggestion on a faster loop. Below it my code and I will like to make faster and smart. 

sub process_files
{
    if (opendir(TEST, $dir_path))
    {
        @files = sort grep{$_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..'} readdir(TEST);
        #print "\n@files[0]\n";
        for ($j = 0; $j <= $#files; $j++)
        {
            $file_path = $dir_path."\\".@files[$j];
            read_files();
        }
    }
    else
    {
        die ("Could not Opendir $!\n");
    }closedir TEST;
}
sub read_files
{
    if ($file_path =~ /defines|sccpch|sms81154|sms97767/)
    {
        next;
    }
    elsif(!($file_path =~ /defines|sccpch|sms81154|sms97767/))
    {
        if (open(FILES, $file_path))
        {
            if (!($file_path =~ /\.lfa|\.zip|\.txt|UASTG/))
            {
                print (DATA "$file_path\n");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            die ("Could not open[$file_path], $!\n");
        }
    }close FILES;
}
