Dear All, I have an issue with a CGI script which we are testing on the shared web server of our ISP. The script has to process several hundred thousand rows of data which it read from a database and uses to build an internal HASH of array references.
The script works fine up to about 100,000 records but after this point it is being terminated by the ISP's server as it is exceeding the maximum amount of memory that may be allocated to one script - in this case they allow 6Mb max. What I was wondering is if there is a way (perhaps using Tie:: ?) to have the PERL hash allocated to disk storage rather than to build it in memory? The performance degradation would not be an issue at this stage of our development... but is it possible to do such a thing? I'd appreciate any ideas.
