Perl is a great language no doubt in parsing large files. If you are parsing a big data file , no matter how big , There is no reason why you should not use perl Unless your process is time critical , and there are a queue of processes that are waiting for your process to finish at run time I choose to write code in perl , unless I am forced to write it in C , either because my system just hangs if I use perl ( like some threaded applications ) or because my BOSS wants so ;-) Ram ---------------------------------------------------------------- NETCORE SOLUTIONS *** Ph: +91 22 5662 8000 Fax: +91 22 5662 8134 MailServ and FlexiMail: Messaging Solutions: http://netcore.co.in Pragatee: Integrated Server-Software Suite: http://www.pragatee.com Emergic Freedom: Server-centric Computing: http://www.emergic.com BlogStreet: Blog Profiles and RSS Ecosystem: http://blogstreet.com Deeshaa: Rural Development: http://www.deeshaa.com Rajesh Jain's Weblog on Technology: http://www.emergic.org ----------------------------------------------------------------
