Update: Sorry, I know this post was a bit lame and didn't prove anything
I just benchmarked the difference between "glob" and "<>" and found very little difference (subsequent runs flip-flopped which was faster). If that's the case, then I'd prefer the glob('pending/*') over the <pending/*> call because of the awkward bare word. But then, thats just me.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark qw(cmpthese);
cmpthese(
20_000, {
'<>' => sub { my @results = <pending/*>; },
'glob' => sub { my @results = glob('pending/*'); },
},
);
and the results
Rate glob <>
glob 7194/s -- -0%
<> 7220/s 0% --
