in thread Perl Script Causing high CPU usage

Good luck in the hunt -- if the loop is using lots of CPU just to do print statements, then I don't know that there's much you can do to limit its CPU utilization. Sounds like the OS is giving your script everything it needs; are you sure it's a problem?

As a complete side note, I am deadly curious -- what is a lakh file? Is that some kind of special log format or something?
