I think undef will be fine if you are dumping the hash or array.

Also how many elements are you talking about? I have to ask because one of my partners was concerned about the same thing and he had 100 elements? ;)

Many machines these days have tons of ram and it quickly recovers stuff once a job completes. So it is good to be clean but don't get too freeked out unless of course you have gigantic arrays and hashes.

Just my .02

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.
