Hello All,
Thank tou for your answers. I think you're both right about handling files
by chunks instead of loading a huge file into memory at once. However,
there's definitely something wrong in the way that XML::Simple manages
memory usage, which is my point.
The file I'm loading is a 124 MB file. There's no reason at all to reach 3
GB in memory allocation.
Ye gods , XML is a poor choice as a DB replacement as you have
witnessed first hand.
BTW my 2 cents says that perl bombs out due to excessive recursion
depth! I have had it happen to me on occasion. The trick is to break out
of the recursion early.
