When you refer to perl's memory allocator are you talking about
the Ilya Zakharevich malloc.c (answer Y to the question:
Perl has a built-in memory allocator that's tuned for perl's
normal memory usage. It's oftentimes better than the standard
system memory allocator. It also has the advantage of providing
memory allocation statistics, if you choose to enable them.
