in thread System call doesn't work when there is a large amount of data in a hash

Searching your repo I get no hit for 'system', or 'qx', despite repeated claims that you take the time to explain what you are doing there seems to be no real question here that anyone can realistically help with, beyond offering the advice you have had to date. "...does not work either..." Tutorials->Debugging and Optimization->Basic debugging checklist.

    This repo works fine, it's for an update that's not online yet. I would like to send code to clarify, but I thought it would distract the attention from the real problem, because i tried many types of system calls, all fail when the hash takes up a lot of memory. That is the only connection I find, I really don't understand the problem, it's the first time I am this stuck, that's why I asked this question.

    I got this error now: 'Cannot allocate memory', Don't know why I didn't saw this before. So I guess a system call needs to copy the complete virtual memory to the sister process.

    So I guess I can not use system calls, I wil try if I have the same problem with Backticks.. If you would know other alternatives, I would always happy to hear it.

    This is the system call I would eventually need:

    system('blastn -query '.$output_file1.' -subject '.$ref_file.' -out BLAST_tmp.txt -outfmt 10')
