Randy, thanks for your response.
I am trying this. opening a handle to memory, and using syswrite,.....but
*nothing* gets written. I have never done this before...this is supposed to
work.
Your help with this is appreciated, thanks in advance. I am running win32 xp
with perl 5.8.

open($fh, '>', \$pmem::arr) || die;
for(0...1125000)
{
my $l = length("$var"); # $var = a random unique value
syswrite ($fh,"$var",$l);
$count++;
print $count,"\n";
}
close($fh);
print $pmem::arr;
