If you're on a VPS 1, you might see this "Out of memory" error from
time to time (or all the time, depending on which VPS you have). The
CPAN index is just getting too big for our little VPSes. Try this:

    unlimit; vinstall savelogs

and see if that helps. If not, try doing a direct CPAN install:

    unlimit; vcpan S/SC/SCOTTW/savelogs-1.70.tar.gz

(Note: if you're using a Bourne-shellish shell--bash, sh, zsh,
etc.--you'll need to do "ulimit -m unlimited" instead of the csh
'unlimit' command.)

If _that_ doesn't work, download savelogs from:

    http://scott.wiersdorf.org/perl/savelogs-1.70.tar.gz

and do a classic VPS Perl module install:

    tar -zxvf savelogs-1.70.tar.gz
    cd savelogs-1.70
    virtual perl Makefile.PL
    make && make test
    virtual gmake install

And if _that's_ too complex, just untar one of the older versions on
your system from /usr/local/contrib/savelogs.tar.gz.
