in reply to Re^3: Sorting data that don't fit in memory (DBM::Deep)
in thread Sorting data that don't fit in memory
Then you might want to test your suggestion of using sort on an enormous DBM::Deep'd array. I'm not convinced that it will be easy to actually avoid using huge amounts of memory or that it will be reasonably fast. More detailed instructions on how to accomplish the former might be helpful and you might find improvements to make while looking at the latter.
