in reply to Large file problem

I just installed and tried Tie::File. I've been doing "while (<IN>)" myself for lo these many years, and I'm always reluctant to try something new.
I now repent me of my idiotic foolishness. Tie-ing a file to an array is Very Cool and quite useful.

    Forgive me to note that it is also very slow,
    it pays to keep that in mind.

    Having said that, I confess: oh yes, Tie::File is so cool
    I must have used it knowing that I shouldn't have. =/

    Cheers, Sören
