Most likely you're going to simply be throttled by IO speed. However, your above code could in theory be simplified by limiting the split to only 3 parts, and by adding the dup check to the while loop. Assuming that dup count is all you really care about.
if ($file =~ $spec_text){
my $file_date = (split(/\./,$file))[3];
open(IN, '<', $file) or die("open failed: $!");
my $count_uniq = 0;
my %seen;
while (<IN>) {
chomp;
my ($ele0, $ele1, undef) = split ';', $_, 3;
$count_uniq++ if !$seen{"$ele0;$ele1;$file_date"}++;
}
print "$.\n"; # Total number of lines.
print "$count_uniq\n";
close(IN);
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
