However code like the above does end up using twice the space; it's allocated once to store the result of the x operation and again when it's copied to $a.
D'oh! I forgot that this was an assignment, not an initialization. I feel properly chastised. :-)
How come the assignment here is not an initialization? I suppose it is. $ perl -e '$a="a"x(200*1024*1024); sleep 9'
