Nothing's changed as far as I know. Perl does not ever release memory to the OS so if you do something that allocates 500M you are going to be sitting at 500M the entire life of the process. The memory will of course be reused internally for other Perl things though. -- andyg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85085 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
