in reply to Reading huge file content
my $data = ""; while (read (FH,$data, $buffer) ){ $data .= $data; }
I don't think that's going to work very well. Each time do the read in the while you just clobber what you have read before. Perhaps you should append $data to a different scalar. I would also cut down the size of your reads and possibly introduce an updating counter to see how far you have successfully read through the file.
Cheers,
