A lot depends on your idea of "best". It might be that the
best way is to hand the project off to someone else and reap the
benefits of their skills. In fact, many very rich people say this
is the best way to do just about anything. So what do you mean by
"best"?
One way to tackle this problem is to figure out how to find
the number of new lines in any file. Since any file may be very
large, assume at least one file cannot be loaded into memory.
Now take that solution and File::Find to apply it to many files.
