Saving to a file might not solve the problem, you haven't said whether you disabled buffering or not, you haven't shown that either. In Perl you got line-buffering and block-buffering, saving to files employs block buffering since print and write operations are involved hence sometimes you need to enforce a buffer flush every time a filehandle is written to in case you are afraid that memory issues would come-up.
print OUT "$line\n";
autoflush OUT 1;
