Devel::Size is far from accurate when it comes to complex hashes, beware.

My recent project which had some 140,000 hashes inside another hash reported its size significantly differently between Linuxes 'top' and Devel::Size.
While I am not entirely sure why this is the case, it still happened; top would say the programme was at 70MB resident and Devel::Size would say 40MB, and I can assure you the actual code itself manipulating the data did not occupy all of 30MB.

At any rate, your mileage may vary - I just wouldn't use Devel::Size to be particularly accurate without evaluating exactly what type of data structure you are using, and comparing what the OS thinks the resident size is, and what Devel::Size thinks it is.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
