I think you have found something here PodMaster. Here is the output of perl -V:userlargefiles:

>perl -V:uselargefiles
uselargefiles='undef';
[download]

After a little more investigation it seems that any file over exactly 2gb (2,147,483,648 bytes) is giving the negative results. I have a file that is 2,004,792,320 bytes that is being reported properly. I guess I will have to figure out how to tell perl to use large files, then try again.

Thanks for all the help.

UPDATE: I am an idiot and here's why: 107391. I'll just go away now *hangs head in shame*.
UPDATE 2: I did some searching and since I can't ./configure on a win32 system, I'm not sure how I can add 'uselargefiles'. Does anyone know for sure if this can't be done on a win32 system? Thanks.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
