IdleResonance,

I don't have any of your hardware, but I'd like to give you some thoughts:

• You're using the SSD for performance, but if it hangs, performance is worthless. Have you tried to use cron to reboot every Saturday night (or whenever it is low usage ). Immediately, stress is reduced. If it needs to be done daily, so be it. I have done this successfully on an AIX box, so it should work with Linux.
  
  
• Have you tried the Knoppix in memory Linux. Use the SSD for performance, but reboot when the SSD fails. The operating system is in memory and on the read only DVD/CD, so the reboot should work without needing anything from the SSD.

Perl depends on the operating system, so if the OS is failing, Perl may also fail and your no better off.

If at the moment this is a 'desperate situation', make it easier on your self by using the system to ease your life.

Good Luck!
