Implementing a queue, memory
hello, I am implementing a queue, using shift and push to put and remove elements from an array. The problem is that I don't know how Perl will manage the memory. Do you have experiences on such arrays after a big number of shift/push? Will Perl reallocate former used memory (relased from the shift) to next elements (from the push)? Don't you think it could lead to some memory leaks after some time? Do you think using pop/unshift in stead of shift/push would make any difference ? Thank you in advance.

IIRC perl is optimized for that scenario (I can't remember where I read it though). It shouldn't be a problem. /J -- --- -- -- -- -- - - - Johan LindströmSourcerer @ Boss Casinos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest bookmark: Morbus Iff/Kevin Hemenway [October 31, 2002] http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 dmoz (1 of 4): ...y/Ethnicity/Indigenous_People/Native_Americans/ 26 ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Thank you Do you know any module implementig such queues in a file? like dmb tied hashes do? IIRC perl is optimized for that scenario (I can't remember where I read it though).

IIRC perl is optimized for that scenario (I can't remember where I read it though). It shouldn't be a problem. Although I haven't tried it, _supposedly_ a file tied with DB_File and specifying a $DB_RECNO type of data base will support many of the array manipulation functions, e.g. shift, unshift, pop, push including negative indices, $h[-1] to get the last record or $h[-2] to get the next to last record. The reason why I stress the _supposedly_ is that trying to use DB_File to read a $DB_HASH type file doesn't work anymore.
