in reply to File::Find hogging memmory.

My first suggestion would be to look at the Find.pm file for the $VERSION, to see which is newer (I would also compare versions of perl between the two machines in this respect as well-the current version of File::Find on CPAN appears to be 1.07, which is included with perl 5.8.5). If the one that uses less memory is the newer, then it may be related to an issue that was fixed between the versions. If it is the newer that is using more memory, then perhaps providing those version numbers here might trigger someone's recall of a similar issue, possibly with either what they found, or how they resolved it.

Hope it helps (at least in providing you a starting point to work from).

    Rather than grovelling around in @INC to locate the Find.pm - it is probably easier to do:

    perl -MFile::Find -e' print File::Find->VERSION'
    or
    perl -MFile::Find -e' print $File::Find::VERSION'
