Ooops. Okay, something in my perl program is retaining memory. I'm pumping about a Gigabyte of data though it and sooner or later it barfs as it exhausts all the memory on the machine. Something is retaining data between each chunk that's read in and spit out and BLAM, there the damn thing dies.
I can't see what it is (and I've looked about, checked for obvious things) Has anyone got any ideas what I could do to determine what's taking up all the space? Later.
