I did a trial and error by reducing the {LongReadLen} and the script is running without any problems.
#$dbh_prod->{LongReadLen} = 100000000;
$dbh_prod->{LongReadLen}=30000000;
My 'select' reads the data from a long field, specifying {LongReadLen} to a higher value might have been causing the unable to allocate memory error.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Also,Why use eval? I believe ( from my minor experience here.. ) that eval is meant to do 2 things. a) execute code at runtime - my $code_snip = "print 'hi\n'"; eval $code_snip would print: hi b) trap errors that would otherwise kill the program. In your case, you're killing your script anyways if the eval fails. So why not just do... print $stmt2; $csr2 = $dbh_prod->prepare($stmt2) or die $dbh_prod->trace(6),"\n\nCould not prepare statement: \n",$dbh_prod->errstr(); Like I said, my perl experience is small, so I'm not sure if maybe the whole eval testing thing is taking up too much memory or what.
