Hi We need to implement directory level search that gives the folder hierarchy and document count in that directory as OUTPUT. Directory level search in this context means there will be a parent folder which has many levels of subfolders under it. and subfolder again has its own child folders and files can be placed in any level of folder hierarchy. Is perl efficient to perform this operation? Do we need to use recursive call or is there anyother optimized way that achieves this operation in a very less time? Please provide ur views on it at the earliest
