Isn't it an issue?

Please keep in mind that perl's memory allocation strategy in general is
optimized for longer running programs, not for one-off scripts (which
makes sense, since one-off scripts don't usually need the performance
gains).

Or maybe it is optimized for one-off scripts? One-off scripts rarely
need to worry about hogging memory and it is certainly faster to let the
OS free all the memory at once than to call free a gazillion times.
