Looks like you've skipped over my suggestion to use Apache::Status. It uses B::Size and B::TerseSize to show you *exactly* how much memory each variable, opcode and what not uses. No need to guess. You can use B:: modules directly, but since you say that outside of mod_perl the memory usage pattern is different I'd suggest using Apache::Status. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
