Re: Gather file count in directory

I always like the File::Slurp module.

use File::Slurp;

my $dir   = 'somedir';
my @files = read_dir( $dir );

my $num_of_files = scalar @files;

If you're willing to slurp in the entire filelist, you can also do `my $num_of_files = scalar @{[<*>]};` [download] mr.nick ...	[reply] [d/l]

The File::Slurp method is not giving the total number of files in a drive (as in C:// etc). It only gives an upper count of the files in directory doesnt give the count of files in folders ..	[reply]
