I apologize if this appears multiple times. When I did not see it appear, I posted again.
Does perl have a feature like C# and Java where memory is reclaimed and defragmented? I just inherited 25K lines of perl code that uses lots of threads. A simple grep indicates they have about 100 thread->new statements. Back in 2005 Chris Devers responded to a similar post of mine and suggested I use fork & exec instead. Do threads necessarily leak memory in perl? That is the impression I got from Chris Devers response on Jun 19 2005 10:28 in this email list (although he did not specifically say that). The code I inherited is running on FreeBSD. Since this is my second day on the job, I cannot log in yet to check the version numbers.
