And you're doing something really weird with @lines; if you get to line 100,000 it's going to allocate a 100,000 element array. Considering it's probably sparse you should use a hash for that as well.
Yes, that's the file being held in memory. :( I just tried putting that into a hash (also using 'delete' now - thanks!). It runs only slightly slower, and consumes quite a bit less memory, so success there!
