Hey guys
I'm currently running perl 5.6.1 on Sun Solaris 8 and I am having trouble with files greater the 2 gig in size.
I've checked to make sure large file support is enabled, perl -V:uselargefiles
uselargefiles='define';
I have many files greater then 2 gig on the unix file system, unix utilites run fine agasint them. However perl crashes whenever it tries to open a file greater then 2 gig or write more then 2 gig of data to a file.
I'm aware of the pipe workaround for reading files greater then 2 gig but I am not aware of any workaround for writing them, and I'd rather just get the large file support working.
Is there anything special I need to do in the script? ideas?
thanks
SomeGuy
