It is slow probably because you seem to be doing an awful
lot of reading and writing. An example log entry would have helped, but the following (with the addition of the appropriate checking) will create the log file on sorted order without a temp file and without readin the whole file into memory.
my $MAXBUFLEN = 1024 * 1024; # 1M
sub sort_logfile {
my $file = shift;
my @off = (0);
my @lines;
open(INFILE, "<$file");
while(<INFILE>) {
push @off, tell;
if (/^\d.*?\[([^\]]+)\]/) {
push @lines, [$1, $.-1];
}
else {
# assume any non-matching line
# is a continuation of the previous
$off[-2] = $off[-1];
next;
}
}
@lines = sort { $a->[0] cmp $b->[0] } @lines;
open(INFILE,"<$file");
my $line = 0;
my $buf;
while (my $i = shift @lines) {
my ($start, $end) = ($i->[1],$i->[1]+1);
while( @lines and $lines[0]->[1] == $end) {
shift @lines;
$end++;
}
($start,$end) = @off[$start,$end];
my $len = $end - $start;
while ($len > 0) {
seek(INFILE, $start, 0) or die "seek: $!";
read(INFILE, $buf='', $len > $MAXBUFLEN ? $MAXBUFLEN : $len)
or die "read: $!";
print $buf;
$len -= length $buf;
}
}
}

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).
