speedup Tie::File?

lightoverhead has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks, I have a question regarding the module Tie::File. I have a very large file, I would like to use Tie::File to tie it to an array and process some lines and etc. But it runs very slow. In fact I have a very powerful machine, memory is huge 64G. I am wondering if there is any method to speedup the performance of this module? Thanks.

You can improve the buffer size with the `memory` option, see the documentation.	[reply] [d/l]
