You should see if you can get some kind of more sophisticated indexing system. I don't remember if Glimpse speeds up within-file sorts, but if it does you could use it with "agrep". (Google(TM) it).

I haven't worked with the module Search::InvertedIndex, but you could still use it, or a similar approach. You need to keep a list of all the indexed words so that you can do a fast serial scan over it (I don't know if Search::InvertedIndex will allow this) and see which of these your pattern matches. Then you look those up in the InvertedIndex to get the list of actual matches. You should probably do a merge/sort of all the matches before you retrieve them from the actual data file.

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.
