Hello again,

Everyone was so helpful the other day in regards to my thread regarding performance revisions, I thought I would ask another.

I have the following code, and I'm curious if it can be made more efficient. 

BLOCK 1
sub CONVERT 
{   
    # record->[1] is the key for the hash of arrays
    foreach my $record (@Data) {
    $record->[1] =~ s/\s+//g;
    $record->[1] = join ("_", $Map{$record->[1]}[1], $Map{$record->[1]
+}[0]);
    }
}

BLOCK 2
foreach my $record (@Data ) {
    for my $i (0 .. 4) {
        print DATA $record->[$i] . " ";
    }
    print DATA "\n";
    }

These are consuming the most time according to -d:SmallProf

Thanks again for the help
