in reply to Parallel::ForkManager Memory issue

What is this line of code doing? my $var = $key->attribute;

I ask, because it looks like it is calling a method attribute on an object $key; but that is impossible.

    Hi,

    I think it is possible when the hash H is declared as

    tie my %H, 'Tie::RefHash';

    since you are then able store objects as hash keys

      Ah! No wonder you are running out of memory.
