Thanks for your editorialized title, but you're overhyping. In my Mathematics::Combinatorics::Combinator, the memory/speed trade off was one of those lifetime-of-the-universe sort of time differences. The CPU/Memory speed ratio isn't likely to ever get that big. Hence, the memory/speed trick will always be useful tool.
It is almost assuredly less work for you to write your own memory management than for Perl to change whatever you feel is necessary to fix your problem. If you want more control and speed, use C. And who knows what will happen with Perl 6 anyway.

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).
