The iteration list of the loop creates a list context, which causes the readline operator to read the entire input stream before iteration even starts. Instead, just use a C loop, which only reads one line at a time. for my $line ( <$file_handle> ){ do_something($line) } #not ok while ( my $line = <$file_handle> ){ do_something($line) } #ok =head1 CONFIGURATION This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. =head1 AUTHOR Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005-2011 Imaginative Software Systems.
