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%    --

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 ;)
