in reply to How can I make a hash use less memory

You don't say which part runs out of memory, the load or the display.

In any case, it appears that you can divide and conquer .. try running the script on smaller chunks, then add the intermediate results together to get a final result.

    Thanks Alex, I was thinking about smaller chunks or maybe using 3 arrays. I parse all of this stuff and then it is loaded into a database.
