This is what I am afraid of. Just out of curiosity, if I did try to read
the entire file into a Perl variable all at once, would the box panic,

Perl most certainly wouldn't make the box panic (at least I hope so :-)), but
would barf and quit at some point in time when it can't allocate any more
memory (because all memory is in use). Meanwhile, your swap would've filled
up completely, and your box would've become totally unresponsive, which goes
away instantly the second Perl is dead/quits.
Try it. ;-) (at your own risk)
LOL, on a production box?...nope.
Hence why I asked here, probing if someone has made this mistake before
I do ;)
Isn't that what VMWare is for? ;-)
