You're probably right. I've never dealt with this before! But right after the kill /var/log/messages gets littered with a bunch of (incomprehensible to me) memory stuff, starting with `Jul 21 03:46:47 localhost kernel: oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x280d2, order= +0 Jul 21 03:46:47 localhost kernel: Jul 21 03:46:47 localhost kernel: Call Trace: Jul 21 03:46:47 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff80258cd0>] out_of_memory+0 +x2e/0x182` [download] I guess that's not so incomprehensible =/ Thanks! Probably there is no way out of that...	[reply] [d/l]

I haven't used CPAN::SQLite, but its intent is to reduce the amount of memory required. Update: I've just enabled it per the documentation; the CPAN shell uses a third the memory that it did before.	[reply]
