memory-leak ?

[Christer H. <ch...@dr...>]

Hi!

I'm trying the following search:

$res = $conn->search (              
	base    => "ou=$stuff,dc=mycompany,dc=com",
	filter  => "(&(objectclass=person)(!(mydate=NONE)))",
	attrs   => "[$charge]",                                              
	deref   => "never",                                                  
        scope   => "one"       
);

The prog's are perl v5.6.1 on solaris 2.8 using perl-ldap-0.25. The
directory is iPlanet 4.13.

The ou=$stuff-tree contains about 27000 objects. This search run
an run until the perl-process reaches 250 Mb of memory-use and, on my
machine, runs out of memory. When the same search are performed with
iPlanets 'ldapsearch' from the shell and concatenated into a file, 
this file reaches a filesize of only approx. 2,5 Mb.

Why is perl-ldap eating my memory? Any ideas?
