in thread why isn't cpan like npm?

Here I run cpan Parse::Lex on an Intel atom based netbook from >10 years ago, with 1GB RAM (559MB currently in use), note that I've run CPAN before so don't have to tell configure it:

Are you sure you're not hitting a limit (for example) enforced on your user? Also perl 5.8 is ancient, and as explained earlier, cpanm is much better than cpan. Essentially it looks like you're hitting a system limit and are running a very old perl when the modern world is much better :)
