I added Memory::Usage to BrowserUk's script. Using it is simple. To start recording, do 
$mu->record($your message here);

To stop, do 
$mu->record->($msg here);

To insert the results at the end, there are a couple of ways that I like. I prefer "state()" which returns an arrayref. 
#! perl -sl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Memory::Usage;
use Data::Dump qw(dump);

my $mu = Memory::Usage->new();
$mu->record('start =>');
open FH, '<', $ARGV[0] or die "file not found";

my $line = 0;
my %hash
;
while( <FH> ) {
    $hash{ $line } = undef;
    $line++;
}
close FH;
$mu->record('end   =>');
print dump($mu->state());
