Re: [webmin-l] out of memory message

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Vincent, 
Unless your Webmin module is dealing with huge amounts of data, the most common cause of an 'out of memory' error is infinite recursion in a Perl function. Under Perl, if a function calls itself endlessly, this will use up all available memory and eventually cause the CGI to terminate.

       Hello,
 I have a question about use of memory with  PERL/Webmin.
 I write 9000 lines in PERL string variable (execute  by AIX server) with
 a webmin module and I send this string to my HTML  client. My program
 stop and I have a "out of memory" message in my log  file. 
 How I can correct this problem ? Is it a PERL  memory problem ?
 
 Thanks.
 Have a nice week-end.
 Vincent
