Since you haven't provided any code, it would be difficult. Here are
some thoughts:
* Make sure you're doing a "while(<INFILE>){" instead of "@array =
<INFILE>"
* Try precompiling your regular expressions.

Subject: Need to improve throughput - Any thoughts
I have a text file with around 1 million lines and I need to do a search
And replace on over 9000 words. I am currently reading a line and
passing
A hash table against it and any matches it is replacing the word in the
string. It is running real slow. Any thoughts on how to improve it?
