Re^3: Chunking very large files

Should be as simple as:

my $sizeRead = $chunkSize;
while ($sizeRead == $chunkSize)
{
  $sizeRead = read $in_fh, $buffer, $size;
  die "Error reading: $!\n" unless defined $sizeRead;
  ...
}

What about the end of the file where $sizeRead will be smaller than chunkSize?	[reply]

In that case, `$sizeRead` will be smaller than `$size`. Possibly zero if your file is exactly a multiple of the chunk size. You then write the chunk as normal (unless its size zero), and the while loop exits.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
