Other posts have noted I have written bash scripts to read file names and rename (mv) files to essentially sort them for the xv visual schnauzer.
These scripts are fine for 50 files, but, in working with hundreds of files, the bash script is starting to seem slow. Perl, as I understand it, runs compiled. How much faster is perl than bash in reading directories, looping through arrays, and and mv'ing? Or, would I be better of to just bite the bullet, and write these in C ? (I have minimal knowledge of C, but my evenings are free of late.)
