Well... since this test already depends on wc then why not just use that 
instead of adding a perl dependency?

Because (1) other tests already use Perl; (2) wc -c reads pack
to find out the size, "-s $file" doesn't AFAIK.

Maybe.  But my point is that wc is already used to find file size in 
other part of the test.  So it should at least be consistent.  And my 
patch has the advantage of looking much simpler.
