I'm running Perl 5.8.0 under Redhat 7.3. Here's the demo code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Glob ':glob';
print "Before first glob\n";
my @ary1 = glob('/*');
print "Before second glob\n";
my @ary2 = glob('/home/*');
print "Done\n";
And here's the result:
Before first glob
Before second glob
Out of memory!
If I comment out the line " use File::Glob ':glob';", it runs fine (but without File::Glob's handling of directories containing spaces in the full script from which this is derived).
If I comment out *either* glob(), it runs fine.
Why can't I invoke glob() twice while using File::Glob ':glob'? And what's the remedy?

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).
