I'm trying to optimize a script used for processing large text log files
(around 45MB). I think I've got all the processing fairly well optimized,
but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to speed up the initial
loading of the file.


Currently, I'm performing operations on the file one line at a time, using a
"while (<FILE>)" loop. I'm pushing important lines into an array, so
further processing is done in memory, but the initial pass on the file is
rather time consuming. Is there a more efficient way to work with large
text files?

If you post the script, we might me able to give some helpful suggestions.
