Wow. That's a big process. :) You have to have all that in memory all at 
once? Can you cache out some of it or something? (Cache::FileCache?)


The script is building up a large hash table in RAM which is then
dumped to a text file when it finishes.  In this exact instance, the
system is expanding user/group entries that were dumped from a Windows
domain controller.  Since the domain is very dynamic, the actual RAM
requirements change day-to-day so it doesn't fail every day.
As you process each user/group you can't Cache::FileCache it or shove it into a database or something?
