Badly-written Perl code leaks memory by default due to the garbage-collection. By using "use strict" we can limit this. However the Oracle client itself (which is provided by Oracle, it's a humongous DLL that DBD::Oracle must link to in order to speak with Oracle) has leakages inside as well. This is not under our control. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
