Hi All,
I am in need to do some memory stress testing. Is there a way to use C style malloc or calloc, to allocate blocks at a time ??

Thanks in advance,
Mark G.

Not that I can think of, though there may be something under the B::*
module namespace that does that.

Alternatively, if you already know how you'd go about this problem in C,
then you may be able to use the Inline::C module to embed snippets of C
code directly into your Perl script.

That may be a reasonable compromise...

Would this be of any help?
use Devel::Size qw(size total_size);
