   I think this is the line that causes your "Out of memory" error:

>read(FILE, $data, 20000000);

   I don't know whether it's what you intended, but your code to test for
an empty field does nothing to prevent the rest of the script (including
this line) from running.

   Also, it looks like you're reading your data file just so you can append
to it.  This may be a better approach:

	open FILE, ">>classifieds.data";
