Re^2: write hash to disk after memory limit

in reply to Re: write hash to disk after memory limit
in thread write hash to disk after memory limit

For DBM::Deep, I recall needing 64-bit Perl for large files (>4GB). See DBM::Deep Large File Support for more info.

But, as said above, this is only one of several options.

64-bit perl != largefile support, except on their test machines. I can attest that given largefile support in a 32-bit perl + filesystem support does work. --MidLifeXis	[reply]

The author covers it with: Note: We have not personally tested files larger than 4 GB -- all our systems have only a 32-bit Perl. However, we have received user reports that this does indeed work. I read that as "Not officially supported, but appears to work. Use at your own risk." --MidLifeXis	[reply]
