I want to read a huge file content (4GB) and store it in a variable that to pass to a generic function. 
ls -lh /path/2024.sql
-rw-r--r--  1 user group  609M Oct 17  20:49 2024.sql

I hv used the below code, but got "Out of memory" error. 
open(FH,"/path/2024.sql");
$/=EOF;
$var = <FH>;

&callGenericfunction($var);

Even tried using Tie::File. 

use Tie::File;
$filename = "/path/2024.sql";
my $obj = tie @array, "Tie::File", $filename;
$var = join " ",@array;
&callfunction($var);

Tried with buffering. 
open (FH, "</path/2024.sql") or die "bah";
binmode FH;

$buffer = 1024 * 1024 * 2;
my $data = "";

while (read (FH,$data, $buffer) ){
       $data .= $data;
}
&callfunction($var);
