Perl eats alot of memory

M

melco

Hi to all.
I worote a program which uses LWP::Simple and fork to grab links from
site.
For each found link I start fork() and again LWP content.
At some point it uses too much system memory and my Linux box
freezes...
How can i limit maximum amount of RAM which main perl process can use?
