Dear monks

I am parsing a big XML file (~500Mb) with the following script. I run out of memory even if I set the uption HUGE

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::LibXML;

print "Importing...\n";

my $file = 'my.xml';
my $dom = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => $file,  huge => 1,);

foreach my $termEntry ($dom->findnodes('/martif/text/body/termEntry'))
+ {
    foreach my $lang_set ($termEntry->findnodes('langSet')) {
        my $language = $lang_set->getAttribute('xml:lang');
        foreach my $term_grp ($lang_set->findnodes('./tig')){
            my $term = $term_grp->findvalue('./term');
                print "$language: $term\n";
        }
    }
}

print "Done!\n";
exit;

The script works perfectly with smaller files. Any suggestions?
