in reply to Re: Archive::Tar is working with perl-5.8.7 but giving Out Of Memory error with perl-5.20.1
in thread Archive::Tar is working with perl-5.8.7 but giving Out Of Memory error with perl-5.20.1

After further investigation I found that this program run successfully with 64 bit perl. I downloaded .msi files of 32 bit and 64 bit perl of both ActiveState and Strawberry distribution. For 64 bit ActiveState and Strawberry perl this program completes successfully. However for 32 bit ActiveState and Strawberry perl this program gives out of memory error. I think this issue is somehow related with Perl binary rather than Archive::Tar module. Can anyone please help here ?

    No, the issue is the same, Archive::Tar slurps, needs lots of memory, 64 bit exes have access to more ram than 32 bit exes
