Does "constant growth" mean: The first time you process 200 records, the second 204, the third 100, the fourth 300?

That'd tend to tell me that Perl is indeed reusing the memory and only growing when it needs to grow..

Then again, you said "constant".

On a related note, how can I watch the usage of memory during the execution of a script? "top" ordered by size isn't really what I think Anonymous Monk is doing..
