Hi John, I am running 2000 NT on my personal machine, though the script performs with similar results on Unix variants. I'm running 5.005_02 Perl. As soon as I start to execute the script, my CPU pegs to 100%, memory hits about 50% and stays there. At any given point, Perl will be using 85-99% of my CPU and it stays pegged after the script stalls. I would expect (although I could be wrong) that a genuine memory leak would show steadily larger increments of memory usage, but in this case everything pretty much stays the same from start to abortive finish. What tools would you recomment for benching code?
