Remove the processing and replace it with just a print DATAOUT $line;. Time this. See how much time is actually spent in the processing part of this. I would guess that the largest part of your time is spent doing I/O, especially if $infile and $outfile are on the same data path (controller, disk, ...).

Once you show that a significant portion of time is spent in the processing, and that splitting the work will help, _then_ perhaps you _might_ gain value from splitting the processing apart into multiple workers. Personally, I would guess from experience that you will get better performance gains by putting your input and output files on different data paths.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
