I wrote a perl program for a colleague of mine to run on his IBM AT
clone (80286, 2MB RAM, 40MB Hard Drive) under DOS 3.3. This program
uses a lot of memory so it eventually bombs out under DOS. Does anyone
know if there is a way to increase the amount of memory perl can use in
this situation? He is willing to invest around $1K in hardware if that
will fix this problem.
