I know this should be trivial to do in perl and maybe someone here has the
time to hack it up.  I want a small test script (actually some other
scripting language than perl preferred).

The script should run the following commands until an error is returned:

    ls
    ls .
    ls ./
    ls ./.
    ls ././
    ls ././.
    ls ./././
    etc...

and when the error occurs print out the length of the command line.
I want to get the bottom of the "command too long" issue that causes too
much trouble deploying Java on FreeBSD/AMD64.
