in thread List::Compare
What it sounds like you're doing is slurping all the files into memory, then dealing with them using List::Compare. I don't know what beast of a machine you're using, but I doubt most machines can do that without serious thrashing.
Much better would be to use the unix sort command. This is one of the exact reasons it was designed. It is written in very optimized C, and as such, will always beat out Perl.
