in reply to Virtual memory issue with File::Find?

Take this with a grain of salt (I'm merely a scribe):
Have you tried setting your script to autoflush?

Put this somewhere toward the top of your script and run it again:


$|=1;

    That's not going to help. $| only works on the currently selected filehandle which in his case is the default of STDOUT and he's not printing anything to STDOUT so $| = 1 won't do any good by itself. select(OUT); $| = 1; select(STDOUT); would autoflush OUT.
