I've got 128mb swap and 64mb of physical memory, and had no trouble compiling perl but, then again, I'm not using UMSDOS either. It could also be the fact that it is a swap file, as the fs needs to be accessed for this file, slowing that system down and using even more memory and CPU power. Do happen to have some other partition you could put it on? This way, you'd avoid accessing the UMSDOS fs too much. Better yet, if you can create a swap partition, do it!
