Hi all,
I have question with respect to memory utilization using perl. I am reading a huge
file close to 786432 lines of hex values & am storing in an array. I do a data
reformatting using the data in these array & in the sequence of process generate a
number of arrays & eventually write into a file at the end of the subroutine. The
problem I get is in the middle of subroutine execution I get "Out of memory"
indication & I have used close to 2 Gigs of memory. So inorder to avoid this Out of
memory issue what I did was, after I send the array elements to a different array, I
initialize the original array with null. For eg: this is what I do with one of the
array,
for ($init_cnt=0;$init_cnt<=$#out_array_bin;$init_cnt++) {
$out_array_bin[$init_cnt] = "";
}
I followd the same approach with other arrays in my subroutine.
I thought this would solve my Out of memory problem but it did not.
Can some one tell me what could be an alternative solution for this problem or kindly
suggest me if sometning I should need to correct in my existing solution.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Hari
