My advice, for dealing with these limits, is "when in doubt -- don't". If you might exceed the maximum size of an array, don't use an array! Tweaking it into working "for now" without solving the limits problem anywhere else is a temporary solution at best.

These limits are heavily shell and system specific, not just the kind of shell but the branch (there are several 'kinds' of ksh) and version. Making a script which abuses these limits could strand it on your system.

There is also a tendency to use shell arrays as a hammer -- when all you have is a hammer, the world looks like a nail. In many cases these are suboptimal and never required arrays in the first place, there may be more appropriate solutions to whatever you're doing.

So please explain what you are doing -- and do NOT say "trying to make a bigger array"! What is this array holding? Why do you need it?

JE::Object::Array(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    JE::Object::Array(3pm)

NAME
JE::Object - JavaScript Array object class SYNOPSIS
use JE; use JE::Object::Array; $j = new JE; $js_array = new JE::Object::Array $j, 1, 2, 3; $perl_arrayref = $js_array->value; # returns [1, 2, 3] $js_array->[1]; # same as $js_array->value->[1] "$js_array"; # returns "1,2,3" DESCRIPTION
This module implements JavaScript Array objects. The "@{}" (array ref) operator is overloaded and returns a tied array that you can use to modify the array object itself. The limitations and caveats mentioned in "JE::Object/"USING AN OBJECT AS A HASH"" apply here, too. METHODS
See JE::Types for descriptions of most of the methods. Only what is specific to JE::Object::Array is explained here. $a = JE::Object::Array->new($global_obj, @elements) $a = JE::Object::Array->new($global_obj, $length) $a = JE::Object::Array->new($global_obj, @elements) This creates a new Array object. If the second argument is an unblessed array ref, the elements of that array become the elements of the new array object. If there are two arguments and the second is a JE::Number, a new array is created with that number as the length. Otherwise, all arguments starting from the second one become elements of the new array object. $a->value This returns a reference to an array. This is a copy of the Array object's internal array. If you want an array through which you can modify the object, use @$a. SEE ALSO
