So that WAS the problem. I know there was some compiled-in limit. Thank you for mentioning this.

If this is the problem (which seems likely) with the original poster's code, again I suggest using other utilities to break up the data set into manageable chunks, and then processing those chunks in perl.

Other utilities, like say: `cat HUGE \| perl my_script.pl` ...This is, of course, bait for Merlyn to jump all over `:-)` Seriously though, can you simply read from STDIN ? Then your Perl shouldn't care how big the file is.	[reply] [d/l]
