this is very inneficient as it oblige perl to glob the whole file in a list
context

you could go the same way with far lesse memory demand with a normal

while(<>)
{

$line = $_;
..
}

my 2 cents ;-)

also you should try to add an /o to your reg expr so perl would compile
them once instead of each line in your file.
