I appreciate those that offered advice! Many thanks, but I am still
researching a way to make it more efficient...
Benchmarks are as follows:
Jeff's method: Server: 1.29 seconds
Shawn's method: Server: 1.51 seconds *SEE ? BELOW
Original method: Server: 0.94 seconds
Again, many thanks!!!
Shawn, I modified your example like so, was this correct?
chomp( my $data1 = <IN> ); # line 1
chomp( my $data2 = <IN> ); # line 2
chomp( my $data3 = <IN> ); # line 3
chomp( my $data4 = <IN> ); # line 4
chomp( my $data5 = <IN> ); # line 5
while( <IN> ){
chomp;
push @past_bids, $_; # push remaining lines into array
}
close FILE;
