Is there a known limitation to how many lines or characters that eval 
can handle in Mac OS X?

I have created a system where a Perl script, running on a client 
machine, executes task scripts written in Perl sent to it by a server. 
The client script reads in the entire task script, then uses eval to 
execute it.

Normally, this works fine. However, Mac OS X runs into a segmentation 
fault when it tries to eval one of my large scripts. The segmentation 
fault happens when the script is larger than 1100 lines. The script 
works fine on Windows, Linux, and Solaris.

thanks in advance,
