Cannot reproduce this any more,
but I *did* have an environment where this happened:
* HP-UX 10.20
* Perl 5.004 built by HP-UX Software Archive & Porting Centre
* 1000+ (generated) files
Back then, I patched Zeller's cvsweb.cgi 1.112.
The idea is to emulate xarg's behaviour within Perl,
i.e. the arg list is split into manageable pieces
and the external command re-run as often as needed.
It does need a config variable $file_list_len,
which depends on your current OS + Perl combo
- I used 200 for above mention environment.
The context diff for Zeller's 1.112:
