But how much do you have allocated to MacPerl?  It can use up memory
very quickly, long before any indicator you might have can tell you
it's filled its partition.  Remember, MacOS's memory management is
pretty lame, so even if you have lots of memory free, if you haven't
allowed an application access to it, ordinarily it won't get it.
