} Offhand I would guess available RAM to the MacPerl app.

I'm not sure about that.  I saw this very thing happen on my wife's G3
over the weekend when trying to upgrade CPAN.pm and libwww-perl-5.
I've given MacPerl 30 Mb there, the same as on my 6400, where I rarely
have trouble with CPAN.pm.  I didn't see any indication it was memory
related, although I don't have the little CSM that shows memory usage
on her machine.  CPAN.pm still functioned after it stopped.  It just
couldn't "gunzip".

I didn't have time to diagnose, but the first thing I was going to try
was to replace the library files that come with MacPerl with the fixed
ones on my ftp site.  That's one thing I know I haven't done on my
wife's machine.  If that didn't work, I would have started stepping
through a test script.

This is a beige G3/266 running 8.5.1 and MacPerl 5.20r4.
