I want to read a huge file content (4GB) and store it in a variable that to pass to a generic function.
ls -lh /path/2024.sql
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 609M Oct 17 20:49 2024.sql
I hv used the below code, but got "Out of memory" error.
open(FH,"/path/2024.sql");
$/=EOF;
$var = <FH>;
&callGenericfunction($var);
Even tried using Tie::File.
use Tie::File;
$filename = "/path/2024.sql";
my $obj = tie @array, "Tie::File", $filename;
$var = join " ",@array;
&callfunction($var);
Tried with buffering.
open (FH, "</path/2024.sql") or die "bah";
binmode FH;
$buffer = 1024 * 1024 * 2;
my $data = "";
while (read (FH,$data, $buffer) ){
$data .= $data;
}
&callfunction($var);

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).
