Using a DBM may help as you grow arrays. The DBM
will trade memory for disk. A very simple example:
use DB_File;
...
tie @ldata, 'DB_File', 'ldata.dbm'
or die " tie failed: $!"
If HTML::TableExtract itself is using too much memory,
you may be able to replace it with a lighter regex that
you devise on your own to pull out the table data. But
this will be reliable only if the HTML is known to be
generated programmatically for instance so there's no
variance.
