Correct, the only way to affect out of memory errors is by recompiling Perl
with specific options (to reserve a buffer for out-of-memory use) and then
using https://perldoc.perl.org/variables/$%5EM. Another option is to use
something like https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::Trace as a hammer to log
everything that happens up until you run out of memory.
