rbsPerlRep has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, Problem is with an application which comprises of two servers, on one of the servers a Perl application is hosted and on the other a J2EE based application. Perl application is used for Merchant creation for which Payment is happening on J2EE server. Flow is, initial merchant’s details are picked on Perl Application where we maintain the merchant related details in a session file. After requisite details are captured we direct the user to J2EE server to make the payment. After successful payment user is displayed with a screen where there is a link which would redirect the user back to the Perl application for creating all the rest of the merchant details. Issues were reported in case user is clicking twice on this link (I tried disabling the link after first click but because of few limitation that can’t done). When I looked in to the issue I realised that every click is initiating a new Perl Process and the first process get hanged when second click on the link is made. Process remains in that state of quiet some time before dying abnormally, this could be possibly due to Memory Exhaustion. Would really appreciate if one could help me in stating how can I deal with this Memory Exhaustion
