The hash and the system call are in the same script, but they are not directly related.
The hash is data from large genomic data files that have to be accessed very fast.
But once the hash is loaded, a system call doesn't work, I need system("blastn ...."), but system("echo Hello") does not work either.
It does work when I run it on a small dataset (the hash takes 10 GB of RAM).
qx/$command/ doesn't work either
I am testing what is the limit for the hash size to make it work, but I don't understand why a system call doesn't work when I have large hash in memory
