[Mingw-users] Out of memory exception when install perl module with mingw shifted perl 5.8.8

[Bruce]

Hi,

I am new to mingw and perl, but a perl application I want to use need to install a few perl modules.
I install mingw 32 bit on my win 10 64bit.
I install gcc compiler and perl. After that I install perl module using perl cpan.
Cpan works but throw an exception when downloading package using LWP.

$cpan
cpan>install Date::Calc

CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /home/liubl/.cpan/Metadata
Going to read /home/liubl/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok
Going to read /home/liubl/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
Database was generated on Fri, 31 Mar 2017 16:29:02 GMT

There's a new CPAN.pm version (v2.16) available!
[Current version is v1.7602]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
while we are running...

Out of memory during request for 40 bytes, total sbrk() is 267528192 bytes!
Lockfile removed.


Is there any solution to this?
Thanks.

What perl distribution are you using?

It might depend on the perl distribution.

Maybe but unknown at the moment.
