Is it faster? What did you find out when you benchmarked both ways of coding it? In any case, when you're reading a directory, you're reading data from a disk; the large potential disk latency will swamp any processing that Perl or your OS has to do, except perhaps in unusual situations. Is it "or anything"? There's no great advantage that I can see, other than whatever makes your algorithm easy to understand. Don't sweat the small stuff; let your perl binary worry about making your programs run "fast".
