No it's not the case. I have tested it on the command prompt on both AIX and SOLARIS and there is no truncation problem. In your case there might be some system configured limit.

Definitely a perl problem.

My theory is, syswrite isn't able to write the whole chunk. And in _put method it waits for response after syswrite. Because the command isn't complete there is no response and the command timesout. I am yet to verify this though.

I can give a temporary login if somebody is really willing to experiment it on my systems.

echo isn't the command we use in actual case. It was used for demo only.

I am available on yahoo IM as pspl_deba and on msn as debashish99@hotmail.com should some body be really willing to sort this out on chat.

Thanks and regards,

Debashish.
