It kind of depends what you want to do with the list. You can certain cut down the effort in your code by not starting lots of processes, but using Variable Substitution (look in the bash manual pages), perhaps like this:-
Code:
for file in *
do
   output="$output ${file%_*_*}"
done

echo $output

This is not unique though. Is that a problem? We can do sneaky things with what bash calls an Associative Array (or a Hash) like this:-
Code:
declare -A output
for file in *
do
   key="${file%_*_*}"
   output["${key}"]=true
done

echo "${!output[@]}"

Okay, so that is not sorted. is that a problem?




I hope that these tricks help.

IO::Async::DetachedCode(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      IO::Async::DetachedCode(3pm)

NAME
"IO::Async::DetachedCode" - execute code asynchronously in child processes SYNOPSIS
This object is used indirectly via the "IO::Async::Loop"'s "detach_code" method. use IO::Async::Loop; my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new; my $code = $loop->detach_code( code => sub { my ( $number ) = @_; return is_prime( $number ); } ); $code->call( args => [ 123454321 ], on_return => sub { my $isprime = shift; print "123454321 " . ( $isprime ? "is" : "is not" ) . " a prime number "; }, on_error => sub { print STDERR "Cannot determine if it's prime - $_[0] "; }, ); $loop->run; DESCRIPTION
This object class provides a legacy compatibility layer for existing code that tries to construct such an object. It should not be used for new code; see instead the IO::Async::Function object, for which this is now a wrapper. CONSTRUCTOR
$code = $loop->detach_code( %params ) This function returns a new instance of a "IO::Async::DetachedCode" object. The %params hash takes the following keys: code => CODE A block of code to call in the child process. stream marshaller These arguments are no longer used; any values passed will be ignored. workers => INT Optional integer, specifies the number of parallel workers to create. If not supplied, 1 is used. exit_on_die => BOOL setup => ARRAY Passed through to the underlying "IO::Async::Function" object. METHODS
$code->call( %params ) Calls one invocation of the contained function code block. See the "call" method on "IO::Async::Function" for more detail. $code->shutdown This method requests that the detached worker processes stop running. $n_workers = $code->workers This method in scalar context returns the number of workers currently running. @worker_pids = $code->workers This method in list context returns a list of the PID numbers of all the currently running worker processes.
