Title: RE: [Perl-unix-users] Thoritical limits on perl processes

Hi,   You may also want to ask yourself whether reading the whole file into memory rather than processing it line by line is a good idea if the file size is large. This all depends on what you are doing with the file's contents of course. If it's a binary file, you can process it in chunks too.   Regards   Marty ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Eisengrein To: 'Subrahmanyam Vadlamani' ; perl-win32 Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 4:59 PM Subject: RE: [Perl-unix-users] Thoritical limits on perl processes AFAIK, it is limited by your RAM not Perl.

My scripts are going to be running on an AIX 5.1 machine with quite a bit of RAM (about 8 GB RAM).  I will be using perl 5.6.0. thanks for the information.
