Perhaps you could read all of the lines from your second file, before starting to process the first, and construct a single regular expression with all of the strings you want to exclude.

johngg@shiraz:~/perl/utils$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
open my $file2FH, q{<}, \ <<__EOD2__ or die $!;
/dumpx/DUMP4X/var/level6/55
/dumpx/DUMP4X/var/level7/58
__EOD2__

my $rxExcl = do {
   chomp( my @lines = <$file2FH> );
   local $" = q{|};
   qr{@lines};
   };

close $file2FH or die $!;

open my $file1FH, q{<}, \ <<__EOD1__ or die $!;

I hope this is useful.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
