in thread Opine on multiple open filehandles vs. multiple loops through data

Sadly, the files aren't perfectly sorted. At the month changeover, there are dozens of lines out of order. I assume that the server wrote the lines in batches, and didn't bother with FIFO.

However, the bulk of each month is ordered properly. I think trying it your way would be fine -- even if it has to close/open/reopen files 20 times during the change of each month, that's still probably A-OK. Overall, that's just maybe 750 open/closes. Oh. Maybe that is a bit much. Hmm.

Well, it's something to test out, to see how speedy it is. Thank you. :)
