By memory leak, I meant a redundant object being kept in memory, i.e. refcount for the object still being >0 after calling the delete method. The program, while initially being an academic project for me to learn OOP, will eventually be interactive, potentially running for long periods and I didn't want it to keep grabbing more memory. The problem, like the project is really pretty academic. > > -Dan -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
