Craig, without seeing your script I won't be able to tell you exactly but a common mistake is to read all the objects for a large query using ->entries. Try using: while ($object = $search->shift_entry) and you will have less memory issues.

Searches returning fewer results are okay (say 200,000-300,000 entries). I am connecting to a Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 server running on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 ES with perl version 5.8.0 and perl-ldap 0.34. The Perl program runs from the same server. The perl program grows to over 2500MB in memory, then crashes. I know this is a bit vague, so please let me know what more would be needed in terms of information.
