in thread 15 billion row text file and row deletes - Best Practice?

Brig,

You're right. gzipping would be faster than sorting, though, right? Worth it?

The thought of using DBD::CSV also crossed my mind. That would be using a DB interface to a CSV file. Don't know if that meets the OP's requirement not to use a DB.

Great topic. ++
