I am trying to open a big file and go through line by line while limiting the resource on the system. What is the best way to do it? Does below read the entire file and store them in memory(not good if that's the case).. open(SOURCE, "/tmp/file") || die "not there: $!\n"; while (<SOURCE>) { ## do something }
