in thread buffering from a large file

Chrestomanci, You're right. Probably not so wise to do it here. I recoded by reading the file line by line and its already real fast. However, I would like to learn about threads and forks in Perl. Could you point me to a good source? Thanks,

    Threads and forks are both fairly common topics here at the Monastery, so if you hang out here or search you will read lots of informative stuff about both topics. I posted a longer example on how to used ForkManager a couple of months ago. Many other wise brothers have done the same.

    I am much less familiar with threads, but I am sure there is plenty of good documentation out there. Again you should search the monastery archives, or use google.

    If you are still in need of enlightenment, then by all means ask another question, as it is the path to wisdom in this place.
