in thread ActivePerl 5.8 Beta 1: yea or nay?

Jan Dubois from ActiveState said on the AS list that USE_LARGE_FILES is enabled. I can't find the e-mail in the archive but if you feel like looking for yourself there is more information over here.

__SIG__ use B; printf "You are here %08x\n", unpack "L!", unpack "P4", pack "L!", B::svref_2object(sub{})->OUTSIDE;

    The message I mentioned is here:

    You're absolutely right: they compiled with "USE_LARGE_FILES" enabled, but that option was not default on 5.8.0 source distribution in time.
    as a result, that distribution that I compiled for me by myself, has that option switched off :(

    Thanks for helping me to clarify the situation!
