in thread Out of memory error while installing a perl package

The first thing I'd suggest would be to ensure these environment variables are setup properly. This may sound silly, but if you set them via the GUI (System Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables) after opening the command prompt in which you're working they won't be there. To do so type set within the command prompt:

c:\>set C:\Documents and Settings\marto>set ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users APPDATA=C:\Documents and Settings\marto\Application Data CLIENTNAME=Console ..... Your ENV variables should show later here

The error:

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. JVM taking more than 15 seconds to start, or died before Perl could co nnect. Increase config STARTUP_DELAY if necessary. at C:/strawberry/p erl/site/lib/Inline/J ava.pm line 484

I suggest looking at the Inline::Java documentation. It details how to enable debugging, which will help to get a clearer picture of what's going on, and the impact of changing the configuration value 'STARTUP_DELAY' mentioned above.
