... it uses 1.0GB memory after parsing an xls-file with a single worksheet and 64772 rows and 120 columns.
Yes, the claim of "no memory overhead" is a bit of a mistake/exaggeration. But you would get the same result using just Spreadsheet::ParseExcel with the CellHandler and NotSetCell options (which S::PE correctly says "reduces" memory overhead, not has "no" memory overhead). Spreadsheet::ParseExcel parses and saves a bunch of stuff before it even gets to the cell data. So the S::PE with the CellHandler/NotSetCells options and/or S::PE::Stream only save you from storing the cell data in memory. I don't know if it would be possible to tell S::PE to not save the metadata before the cell data (or possible to modify it to implement such a thing). Only jmcnamara would know for sure..

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
