Well, Yesterday I tried storing around 3,000 files on a directory & it worked.

The simplest answer to your question is try it.

you can do something like this:

for ( 1..10_000 ) {
    open(F,">dir/$_.txt");
    close(F);
}

if you end up with 10,000 files without any problem ... then it works ... otherwise it doesn't.
