[MacPerl] MacPerl and memory usage

[Mark Manning/Simulacron I <markem@flash.net>]

I was running FoxBase+ the other day and noticed something.  When
FoxBase+ needed more memory in order to run something, it went out and
used the system's heap stack in order to do so.  At one point, FoxBase+
was using 70MB of my 80MB in the system (at home).  Could MacPerl be
made to work this way?  It would probably make things a lot better for
the MacPerl community.  No more setting of the file sizes.  Instead, it
comes up, runs, and then just allocates what it needs on the fly.  :-)
