Tie::File is simplest.
tie my @array, 'Tie::File', $file_name
or die("Unable to open file \"$file_name\": $!\n");
print($array[$_])
for 6, 1003, 2965;
Tie::File can use a fair bit of memory (for its index, which is above and beyond what the memory argument limits), so you might want to write your own (faster, more memory efficient) solution.
my %lines_of_interest = map { $_ => 1 } 6, 1003, 2965;
open my $fh, '<', $file_name
or die("Unable to open file \"$file_name\": $!\n");
my $num_lines = keys %lines_of_interest;
while (<$fh>) {
if ($lines_of_interest{$.}) {
print;
last unless --$num_lines;
}
}
Update: Added Tie::File code.
Update: Added key counting to exit loop sooner.

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).
