There is an (huge) application written in Perl. It includes a couple of modules from CPAN and does analyzing stuff. As a result the memory footprint is (in my expectation) too high (I mean throwing hardware at it does not help anymore :-) ). I also tried the weakref module from CPAN, but that implicates a nearly rewrite of the whole codebase.
I thought a lot of people are using Perl and they probably did hit the memory footprint issue. I searched the mail archives, there was an discussion in ~2002 about this issue, sadly without a solution. BTW, thanks for your interest. -- Patrick Kirsch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
