( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
The bottleneck in your program seems the sorting at the end. Sorting is super-linear, which means that if your input size doubles, the running time more than doubles.

I'd write your program slightly different, but that shouldn't make much of a difference:

my (%hash, $line); while ($line = <STDIN>) { while (my ($word) = (lc $word) =~ /[a-z]{2,}/g) { next if $word =~ /(.)\1\1\1\1/; $hash{$word}++; } } print "$_\n" for sort keys %hash;
Now, if the words are in order, there's no need for the hash, or the sorting:
my ($line, $prev); $prev = ""; while ($line = <STDIN>) { while (my ($word) = (lc $word) =~ /[a-z]{2,}/g) { next if $word =~ /(.)\1\1\1\1/; next if $word eq $prev; print "$word\n"; $prev = $word; } }
(Code fragments are untested)

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.
