"..You never want Tie::File..."

Wait:

From the friendly manual:

"...default memory limit is 2Mib ... about 310 bytes per cached record ... overhead..."

Sure, a lot of overhead.

I'm not so sure (or don't know) what bad things could happen.

But i'm also sure that the author as well as the maintainer are no idiots.

And i have heard that there are files out in the wild > $my_ram. Let's say 20 Gib or so ;-)

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.


No such thing as a small change
