Fri Oct 29 21:00:40 PST ah, time for my yearly smattering of blog posts: Annnnnnnnnnd we're back.
Today's hot tip:
@filearray = <FILE>;
...is a bad idea if <FILE> is rilly large!
Thank you good night.
(No Perl jokes, please.)
Update:
Also, don't do:
foreach (<FILE>)
... it's basically just as bad.
Instead, you are WAY better off doing:
while ($line = <FILE>)
... which only reads one line at a time. You get the same functionality at a fraction of the memory usage.
