Just for a frame of reference here, this is running a short perl script on
a Solaris box:

  perl -e 'sleep while 1'

And running top, I get:

 4962 chrisn     1  33    0 2072K 1776K sleep   0:00  0.01% perl

You need memory to run perl, whether on a Mac or not.  You can try setting
thr memory allocation lower than the recommended value, but results are not
guaranteed.
