Thoughts like this are what is going to keep perl from going into a production respected language. We at my company have recently had to completely recode our entire backend because the coding was done so loosely, that when put into production with actual customers, we were eating up gigabytes of ram with all the forking and bg processes that were taking place. RAM is not THAT cheap when you start having to purchase terrabytes of it just to work around sloppy code.
