Re^3: Perl Program - Out of memory?

Wild guess here; but could your sleep($delay); function cause any buffering?

Like I said, a wild guess. Glancing at it here. That was all that jumped out at me

HTH

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use Perl::Always or die;
my $perl_version = (5.12.5);
print $perl_version;

Tried setting the delay to 0 and no dice. It just get's to the "Out of Memory!" error much faster (which will help in tracking down the issue). Is there a way to track down memory leaks in perl? I love it when a program comes together - jdhannibal	[reply]

Is there a way to track down memory leaks in perl? Your code isn't leaking memory. It is just using more than it has available. At least, that is what I strongly suspect, but given that you've stopped answering questions, there's no way to derive a definitive conclusion. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Hmm... "Out of memory faster". Why not try the other direction; bump up the sleep time, a bit, and see what that does. --Chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use Perl::Always or die; my $perl_version = (5.12.5); print $perl_version;	[reply]
