( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I guess there is sort of misunderstanding. You thought I was talking about the maximum number of file handlers the OS allowed, but I was not. This is not any sort of physical limitation or something. To me, it is not a good idea to create a list with potentially hugh unknown size, this is why this solution came in. You don't want to code for unknown, the unknown here is the resource used. An easy way to resolve this is to limit the array size.

I do take your comment positively, and you made a good point that, this number shall not be greater than the OS allowed maximum number. However I do not suggest to reach the maximum.

The OP has to find out a reasonable number by experimenting. I suggested to rank, because you want to reduce the number of open/close operation.

"If you can't answer that question then why suggest it?"

Just to be frank...It is quite okay for you rush to your assumption, which happened to be wrong in this case. Well, I do the same thing from time to time. But it was quite unneccessary for you to make comments that were not technical related. But never mind, no big deal ;-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
