And, copy on write has almost zero benefit in perl scripts

Well, there's nothing to argue about here. I was not talking about benefits for perl scripts. I've just mentioned existing feature. So, you are right when you say that it does not bring much of benefits for perl because perl scripts are not in code segments but in data segments.

Actually, Perl's threads are very different from your description

It all depends on what is "difference". I only mentioned basic idea of thread vs process. That idea stays the same: thread shares memory of process with other threads. Of course there are different strategies on how that memory is shared and particular sharing may only worsen memory consumption at the end.

The bottom line is that a working knowledge of the basic executable structure doesn't tell you much about Perl processes and almost nothing about Perl threading.

That is true. I just didn't see that the OP wanted to have knowledge about Perl threading. I thought, that the question was more about memory management for Perl. So I pointed out, that perl scripts are loaded into data segment and they don't get shared like segments of perl itself. If I misunderstood the question, then sorry.

  • 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.
