I am trying to get diff of two .slk files. For which I am reading the slk file and putting them into an array in the required format. After that I am using the Text::Diff module to get the difference.

sub ReadFileToArray($@) {
        ($fileName,$NotFormattedFile) = @_;
    @LineContents = ();
        @contents_Array = ();
        $Line = "";
        $var = '"';
    open (MyFileHandle,"$fileName") or die("File Not Found");
    while($Line=readline(MyFileHandle)){
        push (@$NotFormattedFile,$Line);
                   $Line =~ s/$var//g;
        @LineContents = $Line;
            if($Line =~ m/^C;/i) {
                $Line =~ s/K/ / ;
                @LineContents = split(';',$Line);
                    shift(@LineContents);
                      shift(@LineContents);
                shift(@LineContents);
            }
            push (@contents_Array,@LineContents);
     }
         close (MyFileHandle);
         return @contents_Array;
}
@File1 = ReadFileToArray("$path1"."\\1.slk",\@File1_NotFormat);
$s1 = @File1;
@File2 = ReadFileToArray("$path2"."2.slk",\@File2_NotFormat);
open (MYFILE1, ">>C:\\1_ERROR.txt");
print MYFILE1 @File1;
open (MYFILE2, ">>C:\\2_ERROR.txt");
print MYFILE2 @File1;
$Textdiff = diff \@File1, \@File2;
print $Textdiff;

It seems to work for most of the files except for some, where i get the size of the array ($s1) to be 21737. Also the complete array is not writted to the file and then the Text::Diff seems to get stuck.Don't know if its a memory problem or some other issue...?
