I'm a C++ programmer and I have been for a very very short time a
Java programmer...
In OO programming (and not) there are scopes
so evry thing declared between a pairs of
{
//an instance of ClassType is created
ClassType ClassInstance;
//and used
ClassInstance.Method();
ClassInstance.Propriety=Value;
}
//here ClassInstance is destroyed
is destroyed automatically after the brachets (sp??)
Things are different with pointers.. but there are programmable
pseudo-automatic method to destroy object/Classes...
There are also non automatic method as new and delete
Try to look if there is something similar in mod_perl...
If there isn't maybe there is a "garbage collector" as in Java...
maybe you'll find a module/library/class (well you know what I want
to say) that will perform "garbage collection".
BTW I don't like too much "garbage collectors" I prefer to know
where evrything is (or is not)!!!!!
Garbage collectors tend to be resource hungry and to be unsure
and unefficent (code executed without reason)
