[Rd] "Out of memory" while building R with perl 5.8.2 (PR#6596)
Full_Name: Eric van Gyzen
Version: 1.8.1
OS: FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE
Submission from: (NULL) (152.3.22.120)
After updating perl from 5.6.1 to 5.8.2, R no longer builds.
Also note that the build continued even after the failure. Is that a bug or a
feature?

Also 5.8 may have bigger overhead than 5.6 resulting in the use of more memory ... Provided you have less than 512MB, adding VM or preferably real memory should help ;) This doesn't directly affect the functionality of R except for the help files that were not built, afaik.
