What is being told in here, is that:
foreach my $m (1..1e7 ) {
my @array;
foreach my $n (1..1e7 ) {
push @array, $n;
}
print "in\n";
}
print "sleeping\n";
sleep 600;
Stops growing in memory.
In normal execution, when the memory is no longer used, the OS will cache it.

how would you change the original code to get it to free up memory?
Put the processing in a sub-process. When it dies, the memory is
returned to the system.
