callback error , out of memory

[yourkeylady]

I am trying to correct this error which seems to be called fro m an LWP::UserAgent request. I don't know what sbrk() is. This error only shows up on our new server, not localhost or our old server. Can someone tell me what this means?

Out of memory during request for 28 bytes, total sbrk() is 3332096 bytes!
[Tue Nov 29 23:18:32 2005] cron_updater.pl: Callback called exit.
[Tue Nov 29 23:18:32 2005] cron_updater.pl: END failed--call queue aborted at cron_updater.pl line 11.
Out of memory during request for 536 bytes, total sbrk() is 3332096 bytes!
Callback called exit at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/AutoLoader.pm line 92 during global destruction.

Didn't you used to be yorkeylady?

THINKS*:the amount of memory allocated to perl has been exceeded, could be that the old server ran into this in the past.

Suggestions, copy the config for perl from the old server, increase RAM on new server, looking into making the code less resource intensive. (though just over 3M isn't a lot)

I'm not entirely sure how perl is allocated memory, if it was PHP I could help, it's a setting php.ini :-(

I don't have 5 minutes to pee, how am I going to find 1 hour for cpan (LOL). I guess I could get a pan to put next to my chair. That might add up to an hour!

The script is huge. I don't know how to make it less memory intensive. Most of the variables are scoped and necessary.

It seems to be failing quite early yourkeylady, line 11 in your script. At a guess that's when you're loading modules with the "use" statement.

Autoloader, it says; are you using Autoloader explicitly?
