Re: Hashing Memory Usage

I think this has nothing to do with perl.

You might want to compare your users memory quotas on those mashines (you might need a sysadmin for that).

Also, you might check what applications are running on those mashines. It just might be that there is another app that eats a lot of memory on the AIX 5.3.

HTH.

Also take a look at any `ulimit` settings, or anything else that may limit how much memory is available to a process. Can you see if the new process is actually using more memory or running into other limitations? -- sgifford's Web page	[reply] [d/l]

I've hijacked a friendly sysadmin bloke - the ulimits are set the same way, there was no other process running on either box during these tests. I've just stumbled into a big problem though - I don't think I'm going to be able to recompile the Perl without major internal wranglings over support on the box. Arrrrrrgh.
