Re: [MacPerl] Read Speed

["Jon S. Jaques" <jjaques@grovehillsys.com>]

On my PowerBook 540 w/12mb ram, I get an 'Out of memory!' error on the
following, while reading in a 5mb ASCII file:

open(IN,  "$hostname:Desktop Folder:allfiles.txt");
open(OUT, ">$hostname:Desktop Folder:allfiles2.txt");

@LINES = <IN>;
print OUT join(' ', @LINES);

close IN;
close OUT;

Using the afore mentioned read methods, MacPerl duplicated the file in 20
seconds.
