Thanks Bryan,

I used unsafeInterleaveIO after I ran into "too many open file handles" error.

Again, I doubt about String since even if I change the number of files to 12000 - the perl program finishes in less than a second.

Regards,

Kashyap

Essentially I am trying to open a number of files and printing out their sized by reading them in and computing it's length.

Don't use String, and don't use unsafeInterleaveIO unless you know what you're doing.
