No, they are not.

There is none.

Perhaps you are trying to read the whole file in at once?  Yes, that could
be a problem if you don't have enough RAM allocated to the MacPerl
application.  But 250,000 characters is less than 250K.  Certainly not a
problem for MacPerl at any memory allocation.

Or are you talking about a perl program, opening it in the MacPerl editor?
Yes, there is a 32K limit.  Use a different editor, like BBEdit, BBEdit
Lite, Alpha, etc.
