in reply to WWW::Mechanize memory leak???

I cannot replicate your problem on ActivePerl 5.8.0, with WWW-Mechanize 0.48 installed. I had thought it might be the fact that Mechanize keeps a history of where you've been, but I don't know what kind of growth you're looking at.

    Right guess - the history feature was causing the problem, but from the Changelog for WWW::Mechanize it looks like that the page-stack feature might have been broken in 0.48 (see entry for 0.59).
