You mean something like this?

#! perl -slw use strict; $|++; warn 'Start : '.localtime() .$/; my $data = do{ local $/; <> }; warn 'Read : '.localtime() .$/; my $lines = $data =~tr[\n][\n]; my $idx = chr(0) x ( 4 * $lines ); my( $i, $p ) = ( 1, 0 ); substr( $idx, 4*$i++, 4 ) = pack 'N', $p while $p = 1+index $data, $/, $p; my $n = $lines; for my $p ( 0 .. $n-1 ) { my $next = $p + int rand( $n-- ); my $t = substr( $idx, $p*4, 4 ); substr( $idx, $p*4, 4 ) = substr( $idx, $next*4, 4 ); substr( $idx, $next*4, 4 ) = $t; } warn 'Shuffled: '.localtime().$/; printf substr( $data, unpack( 'N', substr( $idx, 4*$_, 4 ) ), index( $data, $/, $_+1 ) - $_ + 1 ) for 0 .. $lines; warn 'Written : '.localtime().$/;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco.
Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
