Re: How to open a file more than 2.6 GB?

What output do you get from typing perl -V:uselargefiles?

If you don't get:

uselargefiles='define';
[download]

then you will either need to rebuild your copy of it with that option enabled in the makefile, or obtain a copy of perl so built.

Unfortunately, the output is: uselargefiles='UNKNOWN'; So, if I want to use this option, how to add it into makefile? I didn't find it in the makefile. Can I add it into the makefile directly? Or can I do this in the process of configuration? Thank you very much!	[reply]

It depends upon which platform you are running on. On win32, you would need to edit the makefile (in the win32 subdirectory) and uncomment the line `#USE_LARGE_FILES = define` [download] If you are running on other platforms, you can probably do this as a part of the `configure` step, but you'll need to look at the `readme.XXX` where XXX is your platform for the details.
