You can try building the perl interpreter/run-time-library with support for some
aspects of the core language compiled-out (like Unicode, threads, etc.). See the
files in the core distribution such as "README" or "INSTALL". Otherwise,
there are ways to reduce the memory consumption of a running perl process,
especially those that avoid memory leaks such as those caused by circular
references, preferring packed strings over arrays over hashes, and using
specialised Perl/XS code for memory intensive code.
Good luck!
