I am using LWP::UserAgent to retreive files from a FTP site. Everything appears to work fine until I attempt to get a file that is supposedly 65M in size. At this point the script dies with error:

"Out of memory during "large" request for 134221824 bytes, total sbrk() is 271669258 bytes at .."

The code I am using is below. I know the physical memory is available. Any thoughts on how to get around this problem? Thanks in advance.

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $response = $ua->get("$url");
 
if ($response->is_success) {
    my $content = $response->content;
    open (OUTPUT, ">out.txt") or die "Cannot open the output file: $!"
+;
    print OUTPUT "$content";
    close (OUTPUT) or die "Cannot close the output file: $!";
}
    
else {
    die $response->status_line;
}
