There are two options:
Use RISC OS 5, which raises the limit to 1GB.
Make Perl use a dynamic area for the heap.

The latter can be done by editing !Perl.!Boot to set Perl$Heap rather
than unset it. However, this will stop system() and similar functions
from working correctly. As your script doesn't use these functions then
it should be fine.
