Re: "Out of memory!" and Sys::SigAction

No idea what's going on, but you could try using 'timeout_call' from Sys::Sigaction, does what you want and might wrap things differently.

I tried your suggestion but unfortuantely it still produces the "Out of memory!" error :'( Much googling and trolling of newsgroups really hasn't shed much light on what's goin on here.	[reply]

I don't know if it is a good idea in your context, but as of perl 5.8.1 I think you can go back to unsafe signals by specifying `PERL_SIGNALS=unsafe` in the environment. Carpe typor and all that.	[reply] [d/l]
