Large file line by line

[Dan Muey]

Howdt list.

I've never had to work with really big files before( I'm used to tiny ones you can 
slurp in at once) and now I have to process a 180MB text file line by line and was 
wondering the most efficient method to do so form within a script not via coommand 
line.

Would I just do 
 open(FH ...) or die $!;

        while(<FH>)) { process line }

 close(FH);

Or is there a better way?

TIA

Dan
