I remember some Perl bug reports about memory leaks with eval'ing
some strings.
I believe these have been fixed in blead-perl and the more recent
5.8 are better
than previous ones. I believe most of these are also being ported
for the next
5.8 release. But I can't find any links to prove that right now.
Which version of Perl are you running?
5.8.6 and 5.8.8 . both are showing it.
i just tore out every string eval I could, and coded around that-- or
tried to code around it in other ways.
it was mostly for class default info, so I was able to get away with
constants for 70% of my code. maybe 20% of my problem code was
solvable with some extended variable variable use. it probably
should have been like that in the beginning anyways.
the dynamic method evals couldn't be fixed. but if that is a bug
that is fixed in the future (and not a behavior) , thats awesome.
