in thread file test operation on files greater than 2gigs

If I had the choice between that and brewing a new Perl, I'd do the latter - it's quicker and less effort.

And you don't even need to brew one or upgrade, you can download a portable/relocatable/binary distribution and use it without messing up any existing ones :)
