I use a single object (lightweight) which I construct and then just call
its method in a loop, once for each message. If I don't use globals, use
strict, undef $SomeVar I'm doing the right thing. All the "my" variables
should dissapear once the method call is over. But nevertheless memory goes
on and on. Maybe this is because I tweaked vpopmail.pm (xs code) to include
information about user quotas which wasn't present there (perl hash) ?

I guess that DBI gets all records if you use fetchall_array|hashref and that
it is else OK.
