Re: Memory efficient way to deal with really large arrays?

On a side note: We recently had a discussion about Judy arrays which claim to be far more memory efficient than hashes.

But without further details this is just a shot in the dark.

My impression is that Judy arrays are about addressing speed rather than space concerns with an emphasis on cache coherency as an optimisation technique. Probably not really applicable in a Perl context. Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond	[reply]

I don't have any first hand experience but as I said they claim to be far more memory efficient. Of course it also depends on the OPs usage, storing 500M Perl arrays holding just two integer entries will still exhaust his memory.
