in reply to perl is crashing due to memory leak when the template toolkit output is being dumped into an output file(xml file)

Can you post the output of "perl -v"?

And, if on a Unix like system, the output of "free", or if on Windows, the output (from a CMD window) of "systeminfo | findstr /C:Physical"

I'm curious if your Perl is 32 or 64 bit, and if you're running out of memory, or just using a lot.

    This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.

Also I am using perl 32 bit not perl 64 bit as there is a certain code not compatible with perl 64.

      Okay, that's the first part.

      Can you also post the output of this: systeminfo | findstr /C:Physical

      Also curious what code/module isn't working in 64 bit Perl...

        Total Physical Memory: 32,689 MB Available Physical Memory: 23,282 MB The code that does not work is another code written elsewhere(again perl), but it is time consuming to get that working And i am unable to shorten the template file to get to a stage where it will be working. Thanks for all the help though. Really appreciate.
