Hi.
[
distribution and version => File-ReadBackwards-1.04
"perl -v " => This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for darwin-2level
"uname -a " => Darwin 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15

I want to suggest that the module issue a warning before performing the
"large_file" test and, ideally, that prompts if the user wants to run it.
Since the test generates a 5G file, In some situations can be very alarming
that suddenly the machine ran out of space.
So, this is not exactly a bug, but...
Thanks in advance.
Julián
