Re^3: Unit testing OS rich code

the quickest easiest way to create an empty file.

Quickest? Definitely not. Easiest? Your call :)

cmpthese 1, {
    a=>q[ qx[ touch         junka.$_  ] for 1 .. 1000 ],
    b=>q[ do{ open my $f, ">junkb.$_" } for 1 .. 1000 ],
};;

  s/iter     a     b
a   8.83    --  -95%
b  0.421 1997%    --

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Certainly quickest for the programmer. This has to create 5 sentinel files every 3 months. Love that profiling snippet. Gonna have to pull that for meeting arguments ;) Me	[reply]
