in thread Huge perl binary file

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)

But libperl is 1,41 MB:

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1478298 17 Jun 13:52 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5 +.12.4/mach/CORE/libperl.so

      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...
