TRoderic has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello!
Currently working on a document processor that reads most of a directory into memory, parses the files there-hidden, and then dumps the resultant data to several different files on disc ( the reason is obscure and distressing) I have found however that the log file writes, given they are going to several different files (and at some point soon probably over network shares) are becoming a bottleneck, which is an issue given there are about 800k 1 MB~ files to do on a more than daily basis. (waiting for the DBA to get on with it) Therefore I would like to store some quantity of the output into memory until a limit is reached, then dump them to disc. viz: I am sure there is a better/more portable way of doing this though, but I can't seem to describe it to the search engine daemons so as to get the right sort of answer. can anyone describe/direct or otherwise enlighten me in this regard? yrs, TR
