I put use BSD::Resource; setrlimit RLIMIT_AS, 32000000, 64000000; at the top of the script which should be limited. So only the Apache child process of this script is limited. > > Are you sure you're using the right units (bytes vs. megabytes)? Could Yes, "setrlimit" wants bytes, Apache::Resource wants MBytes. > your server be immediately going higher than the limit you set for it? Mmh, but what could be the reason? A normal httpd process has i.g. 8 MB and i set the limit to 32 MB. If I run the test script without "setrlimit" and watch it with top it slowly consumes the RAM appr. 1 MB / sec... Anyway: I still don't know what the reason was for this problem - but I solved it with installing a brand new apache, perl & mod_perl - now it works as it should! ;-) Thanx for your help nonetheless!! > > - Perrin Best regards, Christoph
