in thread Perl Program - Out of memory?

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?

    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.

    Hmm... "Out of memory faster". Why not try the other direction; bump up the sleep time, a bit, and see what that does.
