We've talked about having some sort of immediate resource registry that would be checked at some defined interval (block exit, sub exit, sub entry, something like that) and trigger a sweep for dead objects if there were any registered. While it's more expensive than truly on-demand collection, it provides some minimum guarantees on the lifetime of potentially transient objects without too much overhead or potential for bugs in the source.
It shouldn't be that bad as far as code goes as usually there's not much in the way of truly contentious resources in use. (Though I suppose some folks might disagre)

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).
