Allocating memory in 256 byte chunks may seem efficient until you move past userspace.
I'm smiling here so please don't be offended.

This is what I was trying to get at earlier. Most 'smart' text processing utilities/languages depend on the user to tell them: 'How many records should I read and what is a record', or 'How long is a line and how do I determine it?' either at compile time, or at runtime.

As most of us know from sad experience many standard utilities come with static
limitations.

This is a challenging problem and looking at the mailing lists for comp.lang.awk and
other text processing languages is always educational.

Date::Language::Bulgarian(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      Date::Language::Bulgarian(3)

NAME
Date::Language::Bulgarian - localization for Date::Format DESCRIPTION
This is Bulgarian localization for Date::Format. It is important to note that this module source code is in utf8. All strings which it outputs are in utf8, so it is safe to use it currently only with English. You are left alone to try and convert the output when using different Date::Language::* in the same application. This should be addresed in the future. SYNOPSIS
use strict; use warnings; use Date::Language; local $=$/; my $template ='%a %b %e %T %Y (%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S)'; my $time=1290883821; #or just use time(); my @lt = localtime($time); my %languages = qw(English GMT German EEST Bulgarian EET); binmode(select,':utf8'); foreach my $l(keys %languages){ my $lang = Date::Language->new($l); my $zone = $languages{$l}; print $/. "$l $zone"; print $lang->time2str($template, $time); print $lang->time2str($template, $time, $zone); print $lang->strftime($template, @lt); } AUTHOR
