The current implementation has been several times fixed to work around different shells and build environments and it remains a somewhat tricky shell script. This patch replaces all the dependencies by a single line of perl. Build dependency on perl is not new, so that shouldn't be a problem. The new implementation does exactly what it's supposed to: it outputs a little-endian 32-bit unsigned integer of a file's length. This might simplify matters with different build environments and different shells and is also considerably shorter and hopefully more readable.
