You also lose all that efficiency when you start to read a lot of data structures in perl, because reading data ca n increase the reference counters, thus a write actually happens in the background, causing the operating system to copy the pages.
So, don't assume stuff is memory unfriendly. Measure it. In your context, where it matters.
Also, starting a new perl interpreter takes about 0.017s "cold" on my machine, and 0.002s when cached. Compared to a 1 minute run time of a worker thread, that's like 0.03% (cold) or 0.003% (warm) - nothing to worry about.

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).
