in thread comparing two files, with known variations

fine on your reply. But i am interested in knowing about the tools / modules to do this Job.
And also, it is not 2,500 it is 25,000 minimum.
Thanks for your reply, hence i got some modules for comparison, and other ideas.

    Hi,
    I feel that your worry is about 25000 lines of data into hash or into perl's memory!.
    If my guess is correct, you can use DBM::Deep. But since the data will be stored in a file, it will not be as quick as normal hash.

    Use the *nix sort and diff utilities.

    As far as field separator is concerned, it looks like your file is fixed format; you could just use a space...

    Revised: Sorry, I realize that doesn't handle your definition of time identity.
