Re: ANNOUNCE: September Tech Meeting


Sorry about the mess at the last tech meeting.

User Services has confirmed with me that the equipment is set up in
the room.  Unless something comes up, I'll show up.

In case anyone forgot, Walt proclaimeth:

    The meeting will be at 7pm Monday night, September 10.  It will
    be held at ISI, 3501 Market St. in University City.

    We'll be doing three short talks this month:

        Walt Mankowski: A case study in when not to memoize.

        Mark-Jason Dominus: A ten-minute quantitative analysis of
        memoization

        Dave Turner: Art of Illusion

Btw, anyone know how to order the gc to release memory right away?

    {
        my @array = qw (foo bar);
        undef @array; # <-- I want this bugger gone now
    }
    # is @array's space available now?

Well, a slightly more productive question, if you would allow me:
What's an efficient way of tracking down "Out of Memory!" problems?

Thanks.

Okay, back to beer.
