Memory leak cannot be normal for any program. So, it is either Perl bug or
Win32::GUI bug
But I noticed that same example using Perl/Tk does not cause memory leak.
===================
use strict;
use Tk;
my $w = MainWindow->new;
my $b = $w->Button(-text => 'test', -command => \&click)->pack();
MainLoop;
sub click
{
for (1..10000)
{
$b->destroy;
$b = $w->Button(-text => rand(), -command => \&click)->pack();
}
}
===================
