I am getting the following error
sh: /usr/bin/ls: arg list too long
This happens in my perl code when I do @files = `ls $a/$b*`. Depending on the
value of $a and $b I get this error message; in particular when the values of
$a and $b are very long. The number of files is fixed = 40, but each file has a
very long name ($a/$b* is very long).
I tried this on build 42a for sparc as well as x86 with the same results. Is
there a fix for this?
Thanks,
Piyush

There's an upper limit for argument list lengths in the kernel.
I had no problem passing 2M, but Solaris doesn't like 20M....
Given that MAXPATHLEN is 1024, 40*1024*2 + 40 is far
less than the internal limits.
Are you sure there are only 40 files?
