Perl Memory Usage

1 New Member
Hi All!

I have a perl script which uses these modules:

ProcessAdapter. pl

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. use File::Copy;
  2. use FileHandle;
  3. use Class::Struct;
  4. use Win32::Process;
  5. use Win32::Process::Info::WMI;
  6. use Win32::ODBC;
  7. use XML::Simple;
  8. use XML::DOM;
  9. XML::DOM::setTagCompression (\&my_tag_compression);
  10. use Mail::Sender;
  11. use Fcntl qw(:flock :seek);
  12. use lib qw( blib/lib lib );
  13. use Archive::Zip;
  14.  
To load them, perl consumes around 15Mb RAM.
How can I reduce the amount of used memory?

I am running this script in parallel. Therefore, I need lots of available memory.

Can someone help me on this?

Cheers,
Carlos

I have written a perl script to parse some large flat-text logs. The logs are bzipped and come in through a pipe to STDIN. The script then performs some regular expressions to the incoming data then prints to STDOUT. The script works great, but the issue I have is that the script uses as much memory as the data coming into it. Therefore if I pipe a 800MB file into it, the memory usage grows and grows until it reaches approximatly 800MB,...

Using XML::Simple in perl is extreemly slow to parse big XML files (can be up to 250M, taking ~1h). How can I increase my performance / reduce my memory usage? Is SAX the way forward?

Hello I have noticed some 'weird' memory usage in a vb.net windows app The situation is as follows I have an app (heavy on images) with 2 forms (actually there are more forms and on starting the app I load some things into memory for global use of the app but I'll use only 2 starting forms to explain the situation) situation 1 start app with form 1 (72mb memory usage), show form 2 and hide form 1 (89 mb memory usage

We have a VERY simple .NET C# Form Application, that has about a 23MB Memory Footprint. It starts a window runs a process and does a regular expression. I have done a GC.Collect to make sure that, no memory is lying around. GC reports only 84k of allocations. Starting 5-10 of this apps is going to start taking a considerable amount of memory. Is there a way to reduce this? Tom

Hello, I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and whether I can reduce the memory usage. I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

Hello, This is really a reply to http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread50187.html I have a script that reads in a bunch of data from txt files, then does a bunch of calculations, and outputs other txt files. I've got about 7 input txt files, each of which is 14 - 17 MB. If I open Windows Task Manager's process list I can watch Perl using increasing amounts of memory as it reads in the txt files until it chokes, at about 1.7GB (I have 2GB...

It does demonstrate that memory usage can remain at or near peak memory usage even after the objects for which that memory was allocated are no longer live in the process. This is only a leak if peak memory goes up again each time you create any new objects. Try repeated allocations of a large dictionary and observe how memory...

Given that UNIX, including networking, is almost entirely coded in C, how come so many things are almost impossible in ordinary C? Examples: Network and internet access, access to UNIX interprocess controls and communication, locale determination, EBCDIC/ASCII discrimination, etc. Almost all of these are easy in Perl. Why isn't there a mechanism like perl modules to allow easy extentions for facilities like these? Isn't anyone working...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
