Hi

Here is Tim Bunce's reply:

Note that the ChildHandles array holds weak references and that 'from time to time' the old slots get freed up. This isn't a leak, it just appears to be if you're not familiar with the caching that DBI does internally. You can rest assured that if the DBI did have a real leak a) a great many people would be affected and b) it would get fixed very quickly. I think 'from time to time' is every 120 or so newly created child handles.

Changing the looping of the test code to (1..500) neatly illustrates this.

Regards

Steve
