Re: Re: Re: Garbage-collecting with closures

Sorry, my mistake. They have to be nested anonymous subs, like this:

my $foo = 'asdf' x 1000;

for (1..900000) {
    my $outer_sub = sub {
        my $inner_sub = sub { $foo };
    }
}

You're right. I think this code should be fed to 'perlbug' utility. Although I seem to remember it was discussed in p5p list somehow, such closure leaks were almost went away just before 5.6.0, but they were too evil to fix. Courage, the Cowardly Dog	[reply]
