Hi,
My task involves searching a huge number of files on filesystem and
based on the filetype perform some function. e.g. if file is ".java"
perform a particular routine, if its ".pl" perform another.
As the no. of files is quite huge, I thought it'd be most efficient if
I used any parallel-processing techinique.
Some've advised me to use forking, some parallel processing, some
others multi-threading. Needless to say, I'm confused.
Are these terms being interchangeably used?
How are they diff. from one another?
Could anyone give me a clue what would be a good fit for my task.
Should I be downloading any CPAN modules and such?
Thanks for your time.
