Um, 5.004_04 is sorta old. Like, to give you an idea of the timescale, the web wasn't invented at the time it was released. Are you really sure it's inconceivable to install 5.6.1? You don't necessarily have to overwrite the 5.004 installation, you can install it alongside.</p.

I say that because I doubt the perl binary knows what to do with O_LARGEFILE, but if you compiled it today, it probably would. And if you get stuck, call for help again.
