The above line will attempt to open a file "free" in the current directory.
If you want to pipe output from a command into your program, the name should
end in '|':
open( my $memory, "free|") ...
or, better, use the 3-argument version of open:
open( my $memory, '-|', 'free' ) ...
See 'perldoc -f open' for details.

The above should be:
while( my $line = <$memory> ) {
