That provides so little helpful information...

Are you trying to optimise Perl VM startup time?
Are you dynamically loading/unloading modules?
Are you going to audit the whole of the Perl source code, as well as
modules?
If your disks are 99.99999% full, you have poor engineering practises - you
shouldn't be using truss, when you cant even handle a write of 6 bytes.

If you explain what you are attempting to achieve, we might be able to
provide more helpful responses.

cheers,
