installman is the code to install the manual pages when building perl. The particular version I was examining is in the 5.12.1 perl source distribution, which (I think I would be safe to assume) would be processing the code included in the perl source for POD to install as man pages. (Anyone: Correct me if I am wrong, please.)

How could I best examine the memory usage, to determine if maybe it is swapping at that time?
