Sorry, but I disagree with both your and the AM's posts, as the issue is much more nuanced than "never use Tie::File" vs. "appalling and irresponsible advice". I used to recommend Tie::File, until I did some testing to see for myself the massive performance impact the module can have even when simply reading a file (in that test 23x slowdown). Bioinformatics often deals with very large datasets, so any slowdown can be significant, though the OP didn't say how large the files being processed are.
