in reply to ``system'' leaking memory

In principle, it should not be doing that unless rddtool has a memory leak. But why are you putting this command in an endless loop with not exit condition?

    It's just an example. In my application rdotool will be called through system a lot, so I decided to test it first.

    I thought system calls are kinda independent from perl process. Am I wrong? All leaked memory stays in parent process?
