I am confused. Why are you using a Schwartzian Transform?
Your first map puts $_ as the first element
of the anon array, it's the first element that's being
used in the sort, and that's also that remains after the
last map. So, effectively, you are splitting, and then
just discarding the results.
As for the memory usage, you should realize that during the
sort, you have 759 * 42 scalars, and an additional 759 arrays.
Each scalar has some overhead (a couple of dozens of bytes),
arrays have even more. It doesn't look much, but since you
have to multiply, it does add up. It might easily take 1.5 Mb.
And then there's the perl binary itself. I don't know how
much it takes on your server, but it can easily consume a
few Mb itself (this varies from system to system).

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).
