Hi, I am using the following code segment to find out the lines which match the given critiria. @array contains the lines from the text file(10000 rows & 90 cols). It takes 10secs to findout the matched records. Is there any ways to increase the performance?.

file:foreach (@array){
       $match=0;
       my @tmparr;
       my @line=split(/\t/);
       foreach $key_pos(sort keys(%conwithposition)) {
               if ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[0] eq '=') {
                  if ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[1] eq $line[$key_pos]
+) {
                     $match=1;
                  }else{
                     $match=0;
                     next file;
                  }
               }elsif($conwithposition{$key_pos}[0] eq '!='){
                  if ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[1] ne $line[$key_pos]
+) {
                     $match=1;
                  }else{
                     $match=0;
                     next file;
                  }
               }elsif ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[0] eq '>'){
                  if ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[1] gt $line[$key_pos]
+) {
                     $match=1;
                  }else{
                     $match=0;
                     next file;
                  }
               }elsif ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[0] eq '>='){
                  if ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[1] ge $line[$key_pos]

                     $match=1;
                  }else{
                     $match=0;
                     next file;
                  }
               }elsif ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[0] eq '<'){
                  if ($conwithposition{$key_pos}[1] lt $line[$key_pos]
+) {
                     $match=1;
                  }else{
                     $match=0;
                     next file;
