This will generate 10000 files in less than a second. They are 0 size, so just write something into them if you don't wont zero sized files #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; my $file = "/some/where/writeable/a1"; my $j = 0; for ( my $i = 1 ; $i < 10000 ; $i++ ) { my $dts = $j++; open( my $FH, ">", "$file$dts" ) or die "cant open file$dts!"; close $FH; } -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
