This Perl extension aids in the determination of the memory usage of Perl variables. It is designed to assist in enhancing the efficiency and performance of Perl programs.
To use Devel::Size, simply call the functions with a reference to the variable whose size you want to determine. If the variable is a plain scalar, it will return the exact size of the scalar. However, if the variable is a hash or an array, use a reference when calling the function.
The SYNOPSIS of Devel::Size is straightforward and easy to follow. In order to use Devel::Size, you need to import the "size" and "total_size" functions. Then, you can calculate the size of a string or an array variable with ease. You can even calculate the total size of a complex data structure, such as a hash containing arrays and hashes, with the "total_size" function.
In summary, Devel::Size is a powerful tool for developers who need accurate size calculations for their Perl variables. It is easy to use, well-documented, and highly recommended. Get it today and start optimizing your code!
