You are right, sorry... it is hard to do a quick review of someone else's code :) In a daemonized program, though, you really have to watch for arrays and hashes and what not that just keep getting added to, they are the most common cause of memory leaks... that's why using my in the tightest loop possible is good... then things get garbage collected when they go out of scope...
