Hashes use memory, but not that much memory. The not particularly optimized parser I sketched out earlier handled 10,000 CVS log lines across 70 files and 1000 revisions using 4 megs and in 1 second. Considering just running "perl -e 1" costs nearly 3.5 megs, it would have to be quite a large project indeed to run out of memory. Given that his run ran 30 minutes and he ran out of memory either he's got an enormous CVS history or there's some infinite loop in his program which is growing some data structure.
