I have this script I have written, which seems to work (or it seems to haha), but it is lacking in speed. For a 16 MB file it takes 9-10 secs for it to complete and I will need to use it on 256 MB files in the future. I was hoping I could get some help in speeding it up, if at all possible.
use strict;
use warnings;
open my $file, '<', shift;
binmode($file);
my %seen = ();
while ( read( $file, my $buf, 1 ) ) {
if ( !$seen{$buf} ) {
$seen{$buf} = 1;
}
else {
$seen{$buf}++;
}
}
print "$_ - $seen{$_}\n" for ( keys %seen );
Any help in speeding this up would be much appreciated. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
