How to release COM interop objects/dlls ?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello I'm using Win32::OLE and have written a com visible C# class that seems to work fine with the perl layer. However I've noticed that it's possible for the object to remain alive even after I've removed the reference in perl. Is there a way to unload the assemblies in the backend? Thanks

You'll get a better reception if you read the docs before asking a question they answer. `perldoc module_name` on the CLI is one say; search CPAN and read docs there is another... among many more. *Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:* code verbatim error and/or warning messages *a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work* actually means.** check Ln42!
