Hello to all. I am running a freebsd box with 128 megs of ram, 400 megs of swap space and I am running into a bit of a perl problem. This box is used as a webserver running the apache 1.3 webserver. One of my clients tries to run a perl script as part of his nightly CRON job. The error message from the cron daemon reads: file /home/www/twc-online/cgi/weblog/adverts.pl out of memory!" I went back and examined the /var/log/messages file for clues. Initially, when that out of memory error poped up, I was only running a small portion of swap space. I increased swap, and the swap_pager, out of swap space message has disappeared from my messages file. However, the script still can not complete, do to the lack of memory supposedly. Is this just simpley a case of needing yet more ram? :) Would increasing swap space help at all? I wouldn't think so, due to a lack of an out of swap space error in my files. Thanks. Jeremy
