It won't affect your IO count but

my $rec;foreach(@test){$rec.=$_."\n";}

Is much better coded as

my $rec = join "\n", @test;
[download]

roughly 3 times faster on 1000 elements.

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

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

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

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