in reply to AIX vs. Linux memory use

If you don't get anything more useful from the other monks, you might try running the script under the debugger and observing memory usage in a separate window to try and track down what's going on. Sorry I can't be more help...

map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2*$d*$e+$a,$e**2
-$d**2+$b);$c=$d**2+$e**2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for the reply,

    Well, I think I *might* have narrowed it down. I think it may be worth a post on the cpan forum site for the module. I didn't go to the debugger, but I did do some incremental code removal in the Linux version.

    It *looks* like Text::Compare is leaking badly. I removed the call to that and that appears to have stabilized the memory at more or less the same as on AIX. What's interesting is to figure out why the difference.

    I thought it could be a version problem, but, no, the module versions look the same.

    Anybody else hit that?

    Kind regards, Derek.
