Sorry, I was editing my post on the fly (my bad) - depends when you read it!
I think that we have all hit this problem at some time or another. The ls on a huge directory hanging or crashing is a classic symptom.
I forgot to ask whether this directory was a free-standing filesystem - in which case there were more ruthless methods!

accessors::classic
accessors::classic(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation accessors::classic(3pm)
NAME
accessors::classic - create 'classic' read/write accessor methods in caller's package.
SYNOPSIS
package Foo;
use accessors::classic qw( foo bar baz );
my $obj = bless {}, 'Foo';
# always return the current value, even on set:
$obj->foo( 'hello ' ) if $obj->bar( 'world' ) eq 'world';
print $obj->foo, $obj->bar, $obj->baz( "!
" );
DESCRIPTION
The accessors::classic pragma lets you create simple classic Perl accessors at compile-time.
The generated methods look like this:
sub foo {
my $self = shift;
$self->{foo} = shift if (@_);
return $self->{foo};
}
They always return the current value.
Note that there is no dash ("-") prepended to the property name as there are in accessors. This is for backwards compatibility.
PERFORMANCE
There is little-to-no performace hit when using generated accessors; in fact there is usually a performance gain.
o typically 5-15% faster than hard-coded accessors (like the above example).
o typically 1-15% slower than optimized accessors (less readable).
o typically a small performance hit at startup (accessors are created at compile-time).
o uses the same anonymous sub to reduce memory consumption (sometimes by 80%).
See the benchmark tests included with this distribution for more details.
CAVEATS
Classes using blessed scalarrefs, arrayrefs, etc. are not supported for sake of simplicity. Only hashrefs are supported.
