AIX grep has a 2048 character limit on the input lines. Apparently, it
optimizes plain (non-regex) patterns, which enables it to work on longer
strings; but with non-plain patterns, it does not truncate the line, but
fail hard:
$ grep grepme Makefile.am /dev/null; echo $?
0
$ grep .grepme

Yes.
Is this suitable?
It looks fine to me (though I'm not a Perl whiz). Thanks.
I hope Alexandre can comment
