I've been working wtih Perl and am trying to delete some large files by
date.

The stat command seems a logical choice but the data can not be read on
a
large file.

Sun OS
ls of file​:

-rw-r----- 1 oracle2 dba 4934001152 Jun 28 05​:29
df_t401428830_s165_p1

I know ... it is 4 GB but that is common on today's disks.

Any workaround for this?

Thanks,

Using Perl 5.6. Its stat() should be work fine with large files.
A lot of work went into making Perl 5.6 and large files to understand
each other. Go to

http​://www.cpan.org/ports/

and look for "Solaris" if you want just to quickly get a Perl 5.6 for
Solaris. In the long run compiling from the source is of course more
recommendable.
