If you built perl with -DUSE_LARGEFILE and your operating system can deal with files of that size then perl should be able to deal with it.

To easily check if Perl was compiled with large file support, use perl -V (note: that's uppercase V) and see if it contains "uselargefiles=define". Or use the Config module. ($Config{uselargefiles})

Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }
