Out of memory in PERL

I dont know whether this is a common error but it seems my PERL program is running out of buffer memory. Inside a loop I am processing an array (reading elements and displaying in it--note: for every iteration of the loop the WHOLE array is being scanned once--...the array was created by reading a file in it). I notice that as the number of repitions of the loop increases some characters are progressively clipped off off the end of the array element (I am storing strings). So, when the loop runs the first time, I get the elements I stored in the array, but by the time its in the last iteration, the elements are noticeably clipped from the end. In fact if read the output properly, I find that the clipping is increasing progressively with each iteration, which is ridiculous!

Can someone explain what happened here?

NAME
Excel::Template::Container::Loop - Excel::Template::Container::Loop PURPOSE
To provide looping NODE NAME
LOOP INHERITANCE
Excel::Template::Container ATTRIBUTES
o NAME This is the name of the loop. It's used to identify within the parameter set what variables to expose to the children nodes each iteration. CHILDREN
None EFFECTS
None DEPENDENCIES
None USAGE
<loop name="LOOPY"> ... Children here ... </loop> In the above example, the children nodes would have access to the LOOPY array of hashes as parameters. Each iteration through the array would expose a different hash of parameters to the children. These loops work just like HTML::Template's loops. (I promise I'll give more info here!) There is one difference - I prefer using Perl-like scoping, so accessing of variables outside the LOOP scope from within is perfectly acceptable. You can also hide outside variables with inner values, if you desire, just like Perl. AUTHOR
