OK - I was under the impression that perl running on a 64 bit OS,
compiled for said 64 bit OS would be able to handle data structures in
memory greater than 4G in size. I've tried this with a couple of OS's
(Solaris on sparc, Solaris on x86_64) with both packaged and compiled
versions of perl with identical results - as soon as I hit 4G with my
script, I get an out of memory error and the script dies.
I'm pretty sure I don't have a ulimit issue, since more or less
everything is unlimited, and other programs run by the same user can
access over 4G of ram quite happily.
Two questions:
1) Is it possible to access a structure over 4G with perl running on
Solaris?
2) If so, what options do I need to compile in to make this happen.
