I'm having problems with perl version 4.036 on a Dec Alpha OSF1 V3.2 with
112MB memory. I maintain a few small databases which are implemented as
dbm files accessed as assocoative arrays from within perl scripts.
Some of these scripts reading a record in a small dbm file complain
about "Out of memory". Others which attempts to read the whole database
give a segmentation fault. These scripts work perfectly accessing the same
database on other platforms - Ultrix 4.4, SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2.x.
(BTW I've constrcucted a version of perl on all platforms that uses the BSD
db library instead of the usual dbm/ndbm library so that the db routines
are byte order independent)
It's not possible for me to use Perl5 at the time.
I would appreciate any help that you can give me. Thanks very much.
