Well I guess there is also DBD::CSV but once I got onto SQLite, I haven't looked back. SQLite is the most used DB in the world (geez, it is on every cell phone and in almost all browsers...), well debugged and very efficient for what it does.

Let's not quibble too much about the details.

The main point is that using SQL especially in conjunction with a real DB is definitely "on the table" as a reasonable solution for the OP's problem. So I don't think that is OT at all. This approach will scale well into much, much larger files. Functionality like "build histogram" and "print only the first time" are heavily optimized and a real DB is pretty smart about how it uses the memory available to it.

I don't think we have heard back from the OP about requirement questions, so this is really just an exercise for our own edification and enjoyment.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
