Hello,
I'm encountering a problem with File::Util that I'm not able to see,
and I'm sure it's trivial:
my $handle_file = new File::Util;
my $files_for = {};
my $max_file_size = int( 1024 * 1024 * 1024 );
$handle_file->readlimit( $max_file_size );
that once run produces the following trace:
PROCESS TERMINATED DUE TO ERRORS
Bad call to File::Util::readlimit(). This method can only be called with
a numeric value (bytes). Non-integer numbers will be converted to integer
format if specified (numbers like 5.2), but don't do that, it's inefficient.
This operation aborted.
Origin: This is a human error.
Solution: A human must fix the programming flaw.
ARG _pak = File::Util
ARG bad = 1073741824
1. File::Util::_throw
-called at line (1518) of /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/File/Util.pm
-was called with args
-was not called to evaluate anything
2. File::Util::readlimit
-called at line (16) of test.pl
-was called with args
-was not called to evaluate anything
The documentation for File::Util::readlimit states that:
readlimit => positive integer
Optionally specify this option to the
File::Util::new method to instruct
the new object that it should never attempt to open
and read in a file
greater than the number of bytes you specify.
Obviously this argument can
only be a numeric integer value, otherwise it will
be silently ignored.
The default readlimit for File::Util objects is
52428800 bytes (50
megabytes).
Any idea about what I'm missing?
Thanks,
Luca
