in thread Memory Leak Package

For my little program

Is this the 400,000 line/100 package "small program"? :)

I did not use threads

I got the notion that you were using threads from your post:

The only packages I use are: ... perhaps one of them uses threads.

Hm. None of those use threads, (as in Perl Ithreads), that I am aware of.

But Win32::OLE might well use -- or cause to be used -- kernel threads.

But more interesting, is that none of those is XML::Simple as is the subject of How can I free the memory of a XML::Simple-Object?
