Sorry for quick reply without notice that you are suggesting another name for the module. I prefer File::Large as people search for the terms Perl crash or dump large files and this is the term I used to search for when faced crash on dealing with large file on virtual hosting where resources are limited.

It is designed to read only block by block as needed. Although you're using it on large files, it seems that this module is really about buffered reads. Maybe people would want to use it for files other than large files. As Johan noted, though, Perl is already supposed to do this for you. What about File::ReadBuffer or something like that, to describe what it's doing instead of a particular use case? -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org PAUSE instructions: http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about Archives: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules Please send all messages back to modules@perl.org with no CC to me.
