Not true. On 5.005_03 try this:
my $foo = be({name => "foo"});
my $bar = be({name => "bar", data => $foo});
my $baz = be({name => "baz", data => $bar});
sub gotcha {
$bar->{"bar can't go"} = "until this function is cleaned up";
}
sub be {
return bless shift;
}
sub DESTROY {
my $self = shift;
print "$self->{name} died\n";
}
__END__
on 5.005_03 for me prints:
baz died
foo died
bar died
Note that $foo is going away before $bar. Remove the function holding $bar to global destruction and everything will clean up properly. Make them all global and you will again run into trouble.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
