Out of memory error for very small hash

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

Hi, I have a small script to connect to some 11 linux servers using Net::SSH2 and execute the command. After I execute the command at remote machine, I get the output and puts the machine name as key in hash and output as value. My problem is, it does execute successfully for 10 servers, however when I add 11th server, it exits saying out of memory. I am breaking my head over this. Any help would be highly appreciated. I can post sample of my code.

I can post sample of my code. So do it! Or even better, try to reduce it to the minimum piece of code that is still runnable and that makes the "Out of memory" error still happen.	[reply]

Yep, your code and maybe sample output from one of the machines would be nice. Right now, we have nothing to go off of...	[reply]

Thanks all for the reply. My probelm is solved. I still do not know what was happening yesterday. Today I am running the same script and it is working fine.	[reply]

Put a sample of code in code-tags ... see "Markup in the Monastery" for details.	[reply]
