Ah, well, I know jack about FASTA files, so I didn't consider that. Of course, by changing the reader to accumulate records instead of lines, it could be adapted. Though since there are already a couple working examples from you and Marshall, and since mine has a bias in it, there's no real reason to do so.
I know that *you* know how to do the changes, but if someone tripping across this node in the future wants to do it, you can do so something (untested!) like this:
my @record;
while (<$FH>) {
if (/start of record marker/) {
++$cnt_recs;
if ($num/$cnt_recs > rand) {
my $i=@samples;
if ($i > $num) { $i = rand @samples; }
$samples[$i]=[$cnt_recs, [@record]];
}
}
else {
# Accumulate record
push @record, $_;
}
}

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).
