How large is the data? How much of that 8GB is used by other processes? Have you watched the output of 'top' while the script is running? MySQL has tweakable limits on how large a particular insert can be, but this error looks like perl is truely running out of memory, rather than being denied by MySQL. -- . Garth Webb .
