Hi Boris, Just in case you didn't see the above, consensus seems to be that the module or its dependancies have a leak which might be tricky to find for someone in a hurry like it sounds you are, so a workaround is probably the best route. Either fork children to process the graphs (but be careful you don't start too many children at once if you do this), or the way round I have used currently is to write temp files of data and then subsequently in the same program I start to process the graphs and write them out. Once I have processed n graphs (the value of n depending on how large you are happy for your perl process to grow) you can exec your perl process (perhaps with a flag to indicate that it can progress directly to the graph writing section rather than creating all the data files again) and continue to process another n data files until your list of data files is all converted to graphs when your perl process can exit.
