Leon Brocard (aka acme) is an orange-loving Perl eurohacker with many varied contributions to the Perl community, including the GraphViz module on the CPAN. YAPC::Europe was all his fault. He is still looking for a Perl Monger group he can start which begins with the letter 'D'.

Finite memory
Computer memory is sadly still finite. Sometimes it's interesting to know how much memory a Perl script might be taking at a particular time. If you install the GTop development headers and library you can use:
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use GTop ();
use Number::Bytes::Human qw(format_bytes);my $gtop = GTop->new;
my $proc_mem = $gtop->proc_mem($$);
my $size = $proc_mem->size;
print format_bytes($size) . "\n";
Which produces something like:
6.2M
So you can find out that the module you were criticising isn't bloated code after all...

That program has a small bug, if one wants to load a naked Foo.pm file, it gives Warning: Use of "require" without parentheses is ambiguous at (eval 4) line 1. To make it work correctly:
