in reply to Perl File Size Limit

Try this bit of code at the command line:
perl -e 'open IN, $ARGV[0]; while (<IN>) { $size += length } print "Si +ze is: $size\n\n";' Your_file_name_here
If size is the size then yes(ish). You did want a quick answer...

Update: This code is shocking - please back up your file, your system, check your insurance and apply for a new passport before running it. Size may well not be size either - so don't trust that. If it completes without crashing though the answer may be yes.
