in reply to System call doesn't work when there is a large amount of data in a hash

I think you are going to need to supply more information for any of the monks here to provide a useful answer, like the version of Perl, the O/S you are using, and which system call is being made.

Be forewarned that I'll not be the only Monk asking: why do you have 250 GB of data in a hash?
