How much RAM memory do you have? That's the limitation you'll have

It sounds like you're trying to run something big through DOS, and
DOS - not Perl - is complaining mightily. The unmentioned "character
string" may be the entire HTML table en masse. My advice, since you
haven't shown any code, is "don't do that". I can't get much more
specific. But you shouldn't be passing immense strings through MS-DOS.
Use the native abilities of Perl instead. If you're calling another
script to do your dirty work, don't pass the info as a big string.
Save it in a file in some way and hack the script to read in the file
to get the data, then put the massaged result into another file for
your outer program to read.
