Hi, I am a perl newbie, so pardon my question if it is super easy. I used to routinely use Microsoft excel to do my vlookup's on a PC. Recently, I got a new Apple computer and the vlookup function on Mac's excel is unbearably slow. I often do vlookup's for a column of identifiers that is 40K long. This can take 30 minutes!! I figured there has to be a perl script out there that will do this for me, but I haven't been able to find one by google-ing. I wish i could write it myself, but I am only on the 3rd chapter of the llama book! :)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sanjay
