heads up warning for you alan - I had to go back and do
a rebuild of perl from the CPAN source since the RedHat 7.2
default install of perl was built small.
I need to deal with files bigger than 2-gig - hence
had to rebuild using the USE_LARGE_FILE flag.
If you wind up in the case where
if ( -f $file_over_2_gig )
'fails' - then you have to rebuild perl itself.

based upon the power invested in me, by my Hubris, Laziness and Impatience,
I officially annoint you as
"OldGuyPerler in Training"
you can now no longer make any 'newbie' mistakes.
{ OldGuyPerlerBrainFades and OldGuyPerlerBrainFarts, these we
make until the end of our days, but they are clearly and obviously
and intuitively more cooler than mere 'newbie' mistakes....}
You must now swear loyalty to the one true and holy orthodox
of Perl, the Orthodox way, to defend it against the whiney
snivelling upstart college boys, and the apostate who have
fallen into the ways of Python and Java, though you can be
seen in public with anyone willing to write XS to allow
for simpler interfaces between standard 'c' coded libraries,
both shared and dynamic, and Traditional Perl Modules.
Go thou and sin no more....
