I was told we need to find a software package that can do various sorts 
on ASCII files.  We were going to buy a package from Syncsort to do this 
with Solaris 2.5.1 but the vendor wanted $14k because our Enterprise 3k 
has 4 processors.  Our project manager just said to them "f*** you."

Now my question is: is there any way I can do this kind of thing with 
Perl?  If so are there any pages that can help me with writing an app 
that will do a binary or bubble or whatever other sort there is?  And 
can Perl handle files containing millions of records?

It'd be nice if I can show management I can do just as well a job in 
about an hour with freeware as compared with commercial software.  BTW 
we are an NT house.
