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

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
