The sort command does wonders. Maybe you could give an example if sort will not
handle your needs.

I was told we need to find a software package that can do various sorts
on ASCII files. We were going to buy a package from Syncsort to do this
with Solaris 2.5.1 but the vendor wanted $14k because our Enterprise 3k
has 4 processors. Our project manager just said to them "f*** you."
Now my question is: is there any way I can do this kind of thing with
Perl? If so are there any pages that can help me with writing an app
that will do a binary or bubble or whatever other sort there is? And
can Perl handle files containing millions of records?
It'd be nice if I can show management I can do just as well a job in
about an hour with freeware as compared with commercial software. BTW
we are an NT house.
