Re: Perl memory limit - Windows64 strawberry perl

are you sure your program is running 64bit? Check the process in the taskmanager.

Infact if anything in the chain is 32bit (the prompt used to launch the program, dependencies, external programs etc...) the resulting program will be 32bit.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

This was indeed the problem! A bad ENV variable from some dev software was causing windows to run a 32bit cmd.exe. I've learned that windows has 32bit and 64bit cmd.exe in various places (System32, wow64, amd64_microsoft_... wow64_microsoft_ Getting back to default and 64bit perl now is able to pass 8GB ram with no issues	[reply]

Happy this helped ;) as you are lurking the dangerous paths of this UnfortunateOS, take a read of articles in my bibliotheca about `redirection` because in such OS when you suspect the OS being guilty you are probably right.
