in reply to Re^2: Memory reusability
in thread Memory reusability

It does not acquire all memory when it starts.

It will get more memory during runtime when needed.

There are two major points in perl memory management:

1. You don't have to bother, perl will do that for you
2. Memory will not be freed during runtime

That's all.
