Re^2: Question regarding Tie::File or a better way to handle huge 2-D arrays

Use strings instead of arrays.

Tie::File uses tied arrays, and (as far as I know) they are implemented in a way that not all of their elements are held in memory at the same time.

I'm not sure what Tie::File has to do with my suggestion? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Sorry, I thought you were implying that Benbo's code uses (ordinary) arrays, and I just wanted to point out that his arrays are not ordinary. Anyway, as we can see from Benbo's last note, your suggestion was fine and somehow I have misunderstood both of you..	[reply]
