Hi Perl-Monks

I am working with Perl 5.8.8 (ActiveState) under windows. I cannot change the perl-version. Furthermore I have to use the XML::Simple - Xml-Parser (which is the default parser)

No I have a memory problem. I cannot free the memory. using following code: (The Memory-Output is generated by a Class-Method of a self written class 'CProcess') 

    CProcess->PrintProcessInfo("perl.exe");
    eval 'use XML::Simple';
    CProcess->PrintProcessInfo("perl.exe");
    my $xs  = new XML::Simple();
    my $root= $xs->XMLin('D:\xTools\test\xmltest.xml');
    CProcess->PrintProcessInfo("perl.exe");
    undef $root;
    undef $xs;
    eval 'no XML::Simple';
    CProcess->PrintProcessInfo("perl.exe");

the output is
