Because Tie::File doesn't go line by line, for example? Not that it has any importance at this point.

    Quite the contrary. I'm trying to explain that your logic for picking Tie::File was wrong. If you don't realise this, you're likely to make that mistake again.

    sort requires the whole array regardless of how you read the file, so changing the way you read the file is not the solution.
