I found some circular references, and after removing them, garbage
collection worked as expected.
Strange that Perl 5.8.9 destroyed the objects, but Perl 5.10.0 didn't.
Is there an easy way to troubleshoot this sort of problem, other than
digging through your code?
I recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
Now, some scripts that ran nicely on Perl 5.8.9 are consuming all
available RAM on Perl 5.10.0, and bringing the system to its knees.
The scripts I'm referring to create a series of large objects, each
of which should be garbage-collected when the next object is created.
Apparently, Perl 5.10.0 is not picking up the trash.
I know how to use Perl 5.8.9 on Snow Leopard, but I would rather use
the 64-bit version.
Any suggestions?
