Subject: memory issue in OSCAR.pm
I gotta bot written in PERL which uses NET::OSCAR methods to connect to the AOL AIM server and get "away" messages of certain users. Sometimes bot gets disconnected, so I created a function which attemts to connect him back. During the reconnection attempt I'm getting following (If I run the bot directly from console having all output in STDOUT): Out of memory during "large" reguest for 134221824 bytes, total srbk() is 457914368 bytes at /path/to/OSCAR.pm line 3766 Process dies after this.

This is a message from core perl. I've seen the issue before with even simpler code. In those cases, it appeared to be related to ulimit or an OS problem. Can you provide a perl -V for further diagnostics please?
