Re^2: Perl Program to efficiently process 500000 small files in a Directory (AIX)by afoken (Chancellor) |

Unlikely. Creating an awk and a mv process for each of half a million files sums up to spawning a million processes. I doubt that this idea will be faster than running a single process (perl script), even on an insanely fast machine. Alexander
