Performance tips: Perl scripts

You cannot imahine how much more you can achive by using a real time interpreter programming language like Perl or Python. If you are not using any of them in your daily tasks, this might mean you are missing some thing significant.

I use Perl for the following tasks:

  • Simple automated system  administration tasks like supporting file/folder structure
  • CSV or plain text file processing, batch processing etc
  • CSV or text file format conversions
Some day I will post samples of such scripts. For now, just be aware that these scripts can greatly improve your performance or enable you to do something you didn’t know you can do.
