RAM, not disk space

Both the production and the development machines have the same amount of RAM - 512Mb
One installs fine from CPAN and the other one doesn't...

It will probably always remain a bit of a mystery as I installed HTTP::Server::Simple using the information marto helpfully shared. The production unit is all boxed up ready to be connected to the curtains it will control once the immediate festive activity has passed.

Regardless - knowing that Killed is received from SIGKILL was very helpful, thanks.

    How much RAM a machine has is not particularly relevant. Other factors can limit a process's memory. I specifically mentioned you should be looking into limits imposed by the system as these have been known to send SIGKILL to handle processes exceeding the limits. Re: Debugging CPAN problem provides a concrete example.

    You should have sent the unit *before* the festivities wrapped up... that way you could say that you were responsible for the automation of the "closing of the curtains" of this dumpster fire that has been the year 2020 :D

      I'm hoping it will be installed before 2021 arrives and that I'll be able to close the curtains on 2020 :)
      I have a connection onto the controller so I can make it happen remotely!
