The answer is use DESTROY. And there was at one point a SDL::free
method, but who knows if is still around.
Best advice on mem leaks is stop doing that. And by that I mean what
your doing. You should never assume that it is safe to free anything
when dealing with complex systems.
Typically in my apps I load everything at once and keep it around for
the life of the app. I tend to prefer scratch buffers over relying an
dynamic memory.

This is in regards to nothingmuch's advice on fixing memleaks. (

).
Thanks for the advice. I am currently working on separating the XS
name
spaces in SDL.xs. This is the link I am using as a guide
http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/pod/perlxs.html#Perl_Objects_And_C_Structures
.
Hopefully I can put out a test soon. nothingmuch, if you can join us
on the
mailing list or the irc channel #sdl irc.perl.org it would be much
appreciated.
Thanks
