in reply to Failure to start 2nd Perl application
I can't tell you why it is failing but some questions come to mind...
Which process is running out of memory? I'm guessing the second perl application, but you don't show your first script fully, so this is only a guess.
Are you running the same second script successfully on other systems?
What does the script that consumes memory then fails doing?
