[MacPerl] Script size limit?

["Ben Ko" <bko@e-p-s.com>]

Is there a limit to the size of a script that MacPerl can handle?

I created a script that is 47,135 bytes large, saved it as a droplet, and it
ran fine.

Then i tried to edit it and MacPerl said it's too big so i could either edit
it in some other program or save it as text. Allocating 40MB of RAM to
MacPerl didn't make a difference. It still won't open the file. I tried
cutting and pasting the file from BBEDIT to MacPerl, but MacPerl still won't
take it.

When i created the script originally, i wrote it in BBEDIT and cut and paste
it into MacPerl _as i went along_. Perhaps  each little chunk was
digestable, but trying to deal with it all at once is too much for MacPerl
to handle? I've tried rebooting and it doesn't make a difference.

I'm running a PowerMac 7100/66AV with System 7.5.5. Any ideas would be
appreciated.

Thanks!
