in thread Reading zipped files (.gz)

atcroft Suggested that line in CB. I want to read the gz files line by line. At first I tried that using system command. But its taking lot of CPU & memory. Before starting that unzipping the memory is 77.63%. I tested that on 100MB data. After unzipping its showing 78.52%. Even the process exists the memory is not becoming free. So, I decided to read the unzip file directly using perl modules.

    What does your reply have to do with my remarks?

    I pointed out where problems in your program lie, which lead to you not being able to read the files. Have you addressed the immediate problems I pointed out?

    It is bad style to use `ls ...`. I prefer to use File::Glob::bsd_glob to expand wildcards. This also eliminates the need to remove whitespace at the end of filenames.

      I open you link downloaded perl-5.21.3.tar.gz.

      1)tar xvfz perl-5.21.3.tar.gz 2)cd perl-5.21.3

      After that I cant find that .PL file in that folder. This is the correct link you provided?? Or I missing it???

        My link linked to the documentation of the module. The module comes already distributed with Perl. Why did you try to install it?
