Your array might be smaller if you pre-extend it to the size you need (see perldata). You could also look at some of the sneaky bit vector modules on CPAN if your data is appropriate for this. And you could try switching between perl's malloc and your system's malloc, though this requires you to build a new version of perl. - Perrin
