Re**3: Memory leak issue with Embedded Perl

If the process truly is exiting then yes, the memory will be freed. This isn't a daemon? And while this does not directly address the issue of leaking memory but a couple other observations.

Your foreach loop seems to contain a useless assignment ($^W=1 would expose that).
There must be a C library for handling DBM files, such as http://www.sleepycat.com

It is a client process running constantly under Tuxedo, which invokes the script via the embedding code. I was under the impression that after it had run the script and exited using the code: `PUTBACK; TMPS; LEAVE;` [download] would release the memory associated with perl. Anyway I have changed everything over to `use strict` and `my` and the probelm is still occuring. I have now taken out the usless assignment - thanks for spotting that one... some old test code hanging around. Anything else I should be checking? Thanks	[reply] [d/l] [select]
