These do not answer the OPs question. Devel::Size will report the size of (some) internal structures, but not the overall program.

Also, when using it to determine the size of large nested hash/array structures, it can use a substantial amount of memory internal to itself, in order to detect circular references, which can exacerbate problems rather than helping fix them.
