Re^4: Memory Leak HTML::FormatText

In my reading of the CPAN documentation of Data::Dumper (not pretending that I understood most of it...) I would need to know the variable names that I am tracking first. But I guess my problem is exactly that I do not know them. It seems that HTML::TreeBuilder is creating something in the background.

I do not think that this is what you were suggesting, but I tried the following code:

use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use HTML::FormatText;
use Data::Dumper;
open INPUT, "< D:/websiteadresses.txt" or die "Problem: $!";
my @INPUT=<INPUT>;
close INPUT;
while (@INPUT) {
 my $inputfile=shift(@INPUT);   
  chomp $inputfile;
 my $content=HTML::FormatText->format_from_file($inputfile);
 print Dumper($_, $´);
}
[download]

The output is $var1=undef; and $var2=undef; - no problem there I guess...

Where do $_ and $` appear in your code before now? Try Dumper()ing $content	[reply]

Dumper()ing $content returns the content of the files, exactly as it should. No references to other variables or self-references.	[reply]

Dumper()ing $content returns the content of the files, exactly as it should. Ok, maybe now you can stop trying `$content->delete();` and stuff like that; Maybe now you'd like to copy/paste from sub format_file and then add some Dumper()ings ?	[reply] [d/l]
