I definitely could install a threaded version of Perl in a non-standard location, not a bad idea.
It's running on a Sun Enterprise 450 server with 4 CPU's and 4 gigs of RAM, which makes me think that parallelizing could give me great performance gains. When uncompressing files, the CPU usage is always at 99-100% as viewed by top, so the operation appears to be cpu limited. As far as disk space goes, my lab is a Bioinformatics lab, and I'm installing more disk space this week. :) Unfortunately, I can't use it as temporary space for this project (I would need about 120gigs to uncompress all of the files). :( I'm thinking that I'll just try Parallel::ForkManager, if I can find the time while on vacation next week I may even write up a tutorial on the subject. Thanks for the tips everytone. :) In reply to Re: Re: Best Practices for Uncompressing/Recompressing Files?
