Re^2: Memory Hog Code - Where's the Pileup?

perrin,
Andy recently made a change to WWW::Mechanize for speed. The change deferred construction of certain objects of a given page until they were asked for. This could have a minor positive memory impact as well.

Cheers - L~R

Maybe, but this code already copies the entire page about 4 times in memory ($mech, $html, $te, $te->rows), so any large page is going to take a big hunk of RAM regardless.	[reply]

perrin, Sorry - miscommunication. My intention wasn't to say that this specific problem would be addressed. I was just taking the opportunity to make a general comment about the improvement of WWW::Mechanize. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
