Hello all!
I realize that this is not completely a DU question, but it may be related.
I'm writing a program in PERL which needs to open a file of significant
size. The problem is that I get this error message when I attempt to do so:
> Out of memory during "large" request for 8392704 bytes at pcl_converter.pl
> line 126, <ORG_FILE> chunk 810230.
>
The section of code that opens the filehandle is:
open(ORG_FILE,$PATH_AND_FILE) || die "Can't open '$PATH_AND_FILE'\n";
_at_ORG_FILE = <ORG_FILE> ;
close(ORG_FILE)
The file that I'm trying to read in is this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 bwaganer wcis 20872216 Sep 17 15:32
UW310RA_BM_1061629.00.l1
This looks like a limitation of Perl, but I thought that it also may have to
do with the vm limit settings of DU. I've looked in the O'Reilly PERL book,
but I couldn't find anything relevant in there.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks!
