in reply to Merge 3 files into one file

Note that the regexes at the end are likely the cause of any excess runtime not caused by disk I/O. Like ELISHEVA said, hashes are much better here (although memory usage will be somewhat higher).

    If the regexps are a problem, they'll go much faster in 5.10+ thanks to tries.

    jethro,
    Thanks a lot, as suggested I used hash and it worked fine and takes less than a minute.
