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:
sudo cpan Parse::Lex

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 :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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.
