Hi monks, I have a input file like 
225 2198
374 315
420 1149
57 2611

[download]

using the above input, i need to find out "What is the least value while doing the division operation". For example 225/2198=0.102365787, 374/315=1.187301587, from here i need to know what are the two values gives the least value.

I have tried the below code, it is working fine but i need to optimize this code.

open(INP, $ARGV[0]);
$minimumAmount=100;
while (<INP>)
{
    if (/(\d+) (\d+)/)
    {
        if ($minimumAmount > ($1/$2))
        {
            $minimumAmount=($1/$2);
            $amount=$1;
            $weight=$2;
        }
    }
}
close(INP);
print "$amount\t$weight";

what i'm looking is to increase the speed

if it is possible in unix command itself, it would be best
