When running 5.6 (ie when you have weakrefs) Tangram takes advantage of it to avoid circular refs. Depending on the number of distinct objects that you load it could still be a good idea to $storage->unload in your cleanup handler, but that wouldn't necessarily be the general case. And anyway, when I mention XML I'm talking about Tangram 2. I haven't tested it yet, but I'll soon have a chance to. I'll probably report to the modperl list when this happens. A number of things have changed there. I've also found Jean-Louis Leroy to be very supportive, he even came to meet me to ask me questions about what modperl users of Tangram needed (if you have a list of issues, pass it on to me, I'll summarize and discuss it with him). I'd expect Tangram to move forward quite fast in the times to come. >I think an open-source mod_perl-oriented O/R system with XML support would >be extremely useful.

I'm definitely interested if you decide to work on this. -- robin b. Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.
