@plaque is a list of 86 hashes, each of which has 3 keys
(3 scalars) associated to three scalars (two being refs),
both refs referring to a hash of about 507 keys (507 scalars),
each associated to a scalar which is a reference to a list
of 6 scalars. Therefore,
86 * (3 + 507 + 507*6) = 305472 scalars. Memory usage after
forced numification 12444 kilobytes, yielding about 40 bytes
per scalar (ignoring the overhead of lists and hashes themselves which I cannot measure due to lack of knowledge),
which sounds pretty much the same as much simpler
tests yield. But the question remains...
40 bytes per scalar?! I hardly need 4 bytes
per scalar...
Ah well, guess I'll have to either forget it or go play with
vec and substr. Which is not nice nor clean solution.
I wonder if perl6 is going to do something about this.
