Should I aggressively release memory while reading a file, line by line?
An example:
while (<FILE>) {
my $line = $_;
<process line>
undef($line);
}
“Undefing” the $line variable is a good option for reducing memory consumption?
That should make no difference as the variable will be released as soon as the next loop iteration starts, whether you explicitly undef it or not.
