I wrote some scripts that use DBD::CSV 0.22 to read some fields from various flat files. These scripts have been running monthly without a problem until this month, when one of them failed with this error: 

Error while reading file .\filename: Bad file descriptor at C:/Perl/si
+te/lib/DBD/CSV.pm line 210, <GEN4> chunk 74885.

[download]

The script that is failing reads the largest of the files, and this month is the largest to date at (only) 54 MB. This is 2 MB larger than last month's file. I split the file in half, and ran the script on each of the two new files without a problem.

Am I missing a file size limitation, or maybe a number of records limitation in this module?
