DaveH,
Thanks!
My logical interpretation of adrianh's solution was pretty much correct - I just couldn't see it in the code. This works as is, but I am going to test its speed against tall_man's suggestion as it runs considerably slower. I know that it is doing a lot more work, so this is expected and with the $|++ - the humans viewing it shouldn't really notice a difference. None the less, I am going to code my own version of the logic to see if I can't speed it up in addition to benching it against a version using File::MergeSort. If I can't do any better than your integration of adrianh's solution, the only change I will make is having it being an option and not the default. This way it will not effect the overall speed if someone chooses to do a -c and only look at one connector log.

Cheers - L~R

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
