I have been asked to get a 64bit version of Perl compiled and
working under HP-UX 11i. I have found some helpful hints on actually
compiling this successfully. The reason for the 64bit version is memory
utilization. My users have a script that processes an Oracle database of
about 15 million records, and they informed me that the process requires
about 5GB of memory. When attempting to run this in the standard (32bit)
Perl, the process would fail at about 1GB of memory usage. I am not sure
how they were monitoring and/or determining this. Basically, I would like
help with a Perl test script to use memory until Perl reaches it's memory
limit. This will help me to know when I have things right so I don't have
to keep going back to the end users and tell them "OK, try it now".
Thanks in advance for any help.
