Speaking of memory, has anyone done an analysis of various version of POE and perl, to see how much memory each one of these configurations use? I would like to use POE on an embedded device which has limited memory, and no swap space. If there is a particular combination of POE/perl that is low on memory usage, I'll be the first one to jump on it. :)
