Re: Hitting memory limit? (ActiveState Perl)

You're processing 2GB of Data, and it seems like you're storing whatever you're looking for in memory. Even assuming you only keep 1 / 10th of the data you process, you're still looking at 200MB+ in memory. Does your computer have that much free?

The initial test computer has 1GB RAM. The additional test computer (my laptop) has 256MB. Curiously, both start thrashing at approximately the same point in processing. I'm definitely going to follow up on the previous suggestions to try and narrow down the scope of the problem, and reduce the size of the overall data collection to make sure the basic script structure isn't a problem.
