in reply to Huge perl binary file

A few years ago, I compiled perl 5.10.0 on my old server. The binary file was 16KB...

Are you sure? I just compiled "Hello, world!" written in C with -Os and stripped out debugging symbols and it's 6200 bytes.

    I guess it's not impossible. Mine's 7 KB:

    -rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   7264 17 Jun 13:53 /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.
+4
% ldd /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.4    
/usr/local/bin/perl5.12.4:
    libperl.so => /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4/mach/CORE/libperl.so (0x
+800648000)

    [download]

    But libperl is 1,41 MB:

    -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1478298 17 Jun 13:52 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5

        Could you do a file bin/perl? Is this really a binary? It could be some shell script that selects the configured perl binary from a list of configured alternatives...

        Sorry for any bad spelling, broken formatting and missing code examples. During a slight disagreement with my bicycle (which i lost), i broke my left forearm near the elbow. I'm doing the best i can here...
