I am confused. Why are you using a Schwartzian Transform? Your first map puts $_ as the first element of the anon array, it's the first element that's being used in the sort, and that's also that remains after the last map. So, effectively, you are splitting, and then just discarding the results.

As for the memory usage, you should realize that during the sort, you have 759 * 42 scalars, and an additional 759 arrays. Each scalar has some overhead (a couple of dozens of bytes), arrays have even more. It doesn't look much, but since you have to multiply, it does add up. It might easily take 1.5 Mb. And then there's the perl binary itself. I don't know how much it takes on your server, but it can easily consume a few Mb itself (this varies from system to system).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
