in reply to error : Value too large for defined data type while checking file existence in perl

hello abhishekv

This seems to me an OS error: has your OS the support for large data file (more than 2Gb)?

see GNU coreutils-faq

    Worth checking, but all the QNAP kit I've seen are NAS systems, I'd be surprised if they couldn't deal with large files.

      Infact the Perl USE_LARGE_FILES seems a better suggestion..

      Googling the problem i found this post that say The issues described below were caused by a combination of bad RAM, a split-level that was one-folder too high in the tree and an unRAID disk that was around 90% full. so I guessed that even a nas system can spit out such errors. Here another example of Value too large.. error on qnap
