I have perl 5.8.7 running on a well patched Solaris 10 update 1 Sparc
system. I compiled perl on this system using the latest gcc for Solaris
10 from sunfreeware.com.
I use a lot of modules, I am guessing 80-90, in support of webmin,
spamassassin, and other open source utilities. As the number of modules
has increased, at a point, I could no longer install larger modules.
After a while, I could not install even smaller modules. Where I am at
now, I can't even reload the index.
At first, I thought that it was something that I did. I wiped out
everything related to perl, to include binaries, modules, libraries,
etc., and started over. My symptoms repeated them self, so I felt that
it actually might be memory(ram) related, even though this system had 1
Gb of ram and I have systems with 512 Mb of ram with no issues. So I
upped the ram from 1 Gb to 2 Gb. No difference.
In my attempt, I yahoo'ed and googled my error message, and also
searched the archives at CPAN. I found several others who were
experiencing similar issues, but no one had resolved this issue, or at
least if they had, they didn't post their fix on line.
Posted below is my "Out of memory!" error message. Can anyone suggest a
fix, or a better place to RTFM.
thanks,
Jerry K
