It's the stack cleaner... but it only works for scalars, and maybe
arrays, but its better for arrays and hashes to do the following at
the bottom of each code block in registry scripts.  (True good note)

@somearray = ();
%somehash =();
delete $somescalar;
(and don't forget untie :-> )

Basically it will clean up *most* of the memory taken up by these
variables.

Thanks,
Shane.
