Hello

See what "free" command says about free memory, and what "ulimit" command says about limits has your user

But, wait! Which is the exact message which your application/perl give you ?

Maybe it is not a limit / free memory available problem

In your situation, I surely would test an "empty program" with only your sentence:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Expect;
my $user="user"; my $source_DB="source";
Expect->spawn("ssh $User\@$source_DB");
Expect->interact;

And see if it is the root cause .. (I doubt it)

Maybe google has more hints

Regards,
