just to show another way that is usually faster for prepending a string:
substr( $_, 0, 0, "$directory/" ) for @dirfiles[ 1 .. $#dirfiles ];
that is called 4 arg substr and it is way underused in perl. this
benchmark shows the significant speedup of about 2x:
use Benchmark qw( cmpthese ) ;
cmpthese ( shift || -2, {
assign => sub { my $x = 'abc' ; $x = "qwerty/$x" },
substr => sub { my $x = 'abc' ; substr( $x, 0, 0, 'qwerty/') },
}
) ;
Rate assign substr
assign 2356409/s -- -47%
substr 4428292/s 88% --
