Hi,
Is perl has limitation of dealing with files bigger then 2 GBytes?
My UNIX operating system has no limits on file size and I am able to see
large files with ls in shell.
Korn shell scripts reading and writing to large files are working fine.
However perl scripts don't recognize large files:
test of file existence on large file fails,
open function returns "Value too large for defined data type" error.
At the same time Perl scripts work fine with files less then 2 GBytes.
Is there Perl module dealing with file processing and doesn't have 2 GBytes
limitation?
Please, help!
My test program:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$tapedir = "/tapes/";
$curr = 3;
$fname = $tapedir . "tape." . $curr;
if (-e $fname) {
print "file $curr exists\n";
}
open (FH, $fname) or die ("Can't Open the File\n$!\n");
close(FH);
Output:
Can't open the File
Value too large for defined data type
thanks
