The problem happens even without the internal $x variable, but my main problem is that this means the web application running the Perl6Maven.com site fills the memory after just a few requests. A quick check seems to indicated that while-loops don't have the same memory leak, but before I run and rewrite every for loop into a while-loop, it would be nice to know if there are other parts of the language that are leaking memory? regards Gabor
