Re^6: reading from a huge file

Because, by default, every windows perl build is configured with large file support.

If only you were right... Tragically, anything older than 5.8.4 compiled with Borland can't use large files at all, whatever it does "by default."

Anyways, let's see what the OP's actual problem is before allocating the egg to someone's face.
