I didn't see any explicit specification along those lines...  though perhaps it
was implied by the Perl idiom.  I don't know Perl, so I'd miss that.

Given that restriction, then the best solution probably would be to read in small
chunks of the file (possibly using xreadlines() if it's broken into lines) until
the delimiter is found, and accumulating those chunks manually.
