Re^2: Edit huge file

Disclaimer: I have limited experience with Tie::File, so not sure how it performs w/ larger files.

Horribly!

Thanks. For my own future reference, do you have a suggestion for a file size that is too large to use with Tie::File?	[reply]

Hm. Say 1000 lines/100kB. Its actually not too bad for files ~10x that iff you know how it works: An LRU cache of limited size: what not to do: Don't use `@theArray` in either a list or scalar context; configure it correctly: The `memory` and `dw_size` options can interact in interesting but unintuitive ways. Bigger is not always better, especially if the predominant operations are deletion or insertion of whole lines, rather than in-place modification of existing lines.
