in reply to File > 2G under linux

To be able to deal with files over 2G, your perl must be compiled with USE_LARGE_FILES. Under Linux, Configure enables this by default starting from version 5.6.0. See also the INSTALL file, section "Large file support".

You may want to check the output of perl -V.

    I think that's the point, because ext3 really has support for files over 2GB, the other mentioned fs too!
