in thread fastest way to compare numerical strings?

If the OP will supply the data, I pretty much guarentee that this can be solved directly in Perl more quickly that you can load the data into MySql and add a "geospatial index", let alone construct & run the query, and then retrieve the results.

And with less lines of code.

    True, but there's always the possibility that the data is already (or wants to be) in a database.

    I'm just throwing out other options.
