Perl 5.004x was the notation for what later got shortened to just 5.4.x. But even Perl 5.4 is old by now, and 5.6 is getting up there. The current version is 5.8.4, so if you're going to have your admin upgrade Perl anyway, you might as well have it brought up to 5.8.x. > Randal's solution I'm sure will be the preferred -- having our admin > upgrade perl is much easier than rewriting my code. =) Well, it may still be worth trying the other way, if only to get yourself comfortable with the two approaches, and to benchmark which style runs faster for what you're trying to do. You're still dealing with a whole lot of files, and it would be good to know which mode handles such a big set more efficiently.
