From: "pcourterelle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've created several some simple scripts with Win32::GUI where there is little more than a window, button and listview and the script is using 6 MB of memory. The memory usage increase dramatically each time a button is clicked or the listview is populated. (the buttons do nothing more than insert a static text item into the listview - literally "bob" The memory usuage never seems to decrease dynamically when the listview is reset.

Assuming you are using the latest version of Win32:GUI you don't need to do anything special regarding memory management. When objects go out of scope all memory and resources are released. Something else is going on - can you post an example?
I might believe the 6MB, depending on what figure you're quoting as 'memory usage'. On the Win98 box I have in front of me, for a single blank window I get the follwoing figures (from WinTop): Allocated: 2632K 3984K In memory: 1080K 3032K In use: 848K 2408K That's close on 6MB of allocated memory - most of which is due to the DLL's that are loaded: Name Size ADVAPI32.DLL 0x10000 Win32 ADVAPI32 core component COMCTL32.DLL 0x88000 Common Controls Library COMDLG32.DLL 0x2D000 Common Dialogs DLL Cwd.dll 0x5000 Perl Cwd GDI32.DLL 0x26000 Win32 GDI Core component GUI.dll 0xBD000 Perl Win32::GUI KERNEL32.DLL 0x7A000 Win32 Kernel core component MSVCRT.DLL 0x46000 Microsoft C Runtime Library perl.exe 0xB000 Perl.exe perl58.dll 0xC6000 Perl core DLL SHELL32.DLL 0x155000 Win32 Shell common Dll SHLWAPI.DLL 0x66000 Shell light-weight Dll USER32.DLL 0x11000 Win32 USER32 core component VERSION.DLL 0x6000 Win32 VERSION core component But I agree with Jez that if you're seeing significant (and you don't say what you think significant is) increases when clicking a button, then that doesn't sound right. Some (simple) code that exhibits the problem, some information on what tool you're using to measure the memory usage, and the figures that you see would allow us to see if we're seeing the same problem.
