[ale] OT: Perl and VERY large files

Yah, having seen the code, I'm not seeing anything jumping out at me :/

My only other suggestion is to change it to open(FILE, "cat filename |");
so it's coming through a pipe; I think that'd hide the file size from
whoever's actually issuing the complaint (unless it's at a level that cat
dislikes it, too, of course)

Sorry :/
