Hello list! I am attempting to lower the memory load on the server that the following lines of code creates. Is there any way to speed up this process and lower memory usage? I read through FILE::SLURP documentation but not sure if that would help as I need to keep the array @remaining_file_lines.
NOTE: Each file has a different size (ranging from 2kb up to 900mb) open FILE, "$file.txt"; # $file is untainted by code before we open the file my ($data,$data1,$data2,$data3,$data4,@remaining_file_lines) = <FILE>; close FILE; chomp ($data,$data1,$data2,$data3,$data4,@remaining_file_lines); return ($data,$data1,$data2,$data3,$data4,@remaining_file_lines); TIA !!!! -David
