in reply to Out of Memory

If all else fails, you might have to use XML::Twig and do the XML parsing of the XLSX sheet yourself. This will mean taking much of the extraction code of Spreadsheet::XLSX and remunging it into a callback-based interface (like Spreadsheet::ParseExcel)...

    First up thanks a lot for the ideas! So there is no way around rewriting the code to overcome this out-of-memory error? I mean as a quick fix?

    Not trying to be lazy; I ask as this is holding Production already - if I could do something to get this piece going in the interim, I could take time out to rewrite, test and promote the rewritten version.

    Any ideas??

    ulimit -a shows the following -
    fdrread@laatdm62:/home/fdrread> ulimit -a time(seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) unlimited stack(kbytes) 4194304 memory(kbytes) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited nofiles(descriptors) unlimited
    Again, THANKS A TON!
