I'm fairly new to Perl, so apologies if my question is poorly phrased...
I'm trying to take advantage of a 64 CPU cluster plus Perl's text-grabbing/matching capabilities. I have a fairly large (~100MB) file full of names (a few names per line in the file) that I need to individually look up and retrieve information for from an even larger (~5 GB) database.
Would ForkManager be a good way to implement a "divide and conquer" approach in Perl? I haven't been able to find good examples of using ForkManager to read a file a line-at-a-time and then doing something with those lines.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
