Until now all of my Perl scripts have delt with smallish arrays and smallish hashes. Now I have need to run a script which will work on a few largish arrays.<br>
I do not need all of the arrays at once, hence I can undef an array after I am done with it then move on to the next array.<p>
I'm wondering if the undef is the best way to "throw out" the old array.<p>
And I'm wondering if this will free the memory for subsequent use.<p>
Sorry if the question is a bit odd but I have used languages in the past which did not handle freeing of memory properly and I'd rather not find out by hitting a brick wall when I scale later.<p>
Thanks in advance.<br>
