    Thanks LanX. I knew the links that you and choroba provided. But the advice given ibidem seemed to me like an endless loop. Probably yet another algorithm that I didn’t understand for a long time - or may be i got this notorious mental block again. But I begin to see the things more clearly now. And i guess that i need to read again some basic manpages to understand my stolen solution 🤪. Best regards, Karl

      Sorry I have trouble understanding all of this, that's why I gave a generic hint

      The example code you showed seems to slide over a fixed array, but when dealing with huge files you need a dynamic approach.

      Otherwise you wouldn't get the file into memory.

      Unless there is "lazy" magic connected to the array via tie*, but this must be in other parts of the module, which I never used

      In short, I'm confused what the question is and how to help.
