Hello fellas
I'm using the following script from mit
The code looks like so: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

BEGIN { unshift @INC, "lib" }
use strict;
use SNMP::MIB::Compiler;
use Data::Dumper;

my $DATE = '1999/05/06';

my $outdir = 'out';
my $file   = shift || die "Usage: $0 MIBNAME\n";

$Data::Dumper::Purity = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Indent = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Terse  = 1;

my $mib = new SNMP::MIB::Compiler;
$mib->add_path('mibs', 'mibs/cisco', 'mibs/com21',
           '/home/ftp/doc/mibs/ascend');
$mib->add_extension('', '.mib', '.my');

mkdir $outdir, oct 755 unless -d $outdir;
$mib->repository($outdir);

$mib->{'accept_smiv1'} = 1;
$mib->{'accept_smiv2'} = 1;

$mib->{'debug_recursive'} = 1;
$mib->{'debug_lexer'}     = 0;

$mib->{'make_dump'}  = 1;
$mib->{'use_dump'}   = 1;
$mib->{'do_imports'} = 1;

$mib->{'allow_underscore'} = 1;

$mib->load($file) || $mib->compile($file);

It works fine on Solaris using around 6 meg of memory to compile a MIB, but runs out of memory on Windows using around 1 GB (Yes I said GB). Is it apparent to anyone why this is the case? I've changed some of the flags for the compiler without success

any help would be greatly appreciated.
