I have an odd thing happening in my script where AnyEvent::HTTP is not releasing variables and just adds data onto the end of a file read.

My main code body calls anyevent

$condvar = AnyEvent->condvar;
for (1..$multiLimit) {
                doProcess();
        }
$condvar->recv;

doProcess then does:

$condvar->begin;
say "Active ${aval}, Offset ${oval}";
        ### This was originally another sub, but I brought it inline f
+or debug
        my $content;
        my $fh = FileHandle->new;
        if ($debug) { say "Reading ${localfile} offset ${offset} for l
+ength ${contentLength}";}
        $fh->open("< $localfile");
        binmode($fh);
        read($fh,$content,$contentLength,$offset);
        if ($debug) { say "readData read ".byteSize($content);}
        $fh->close;
        ###
       http_request "PUT" => $url,
                headers=>$headerVals,
                body=>$content,
                sub {
                        my ($body, $hdr) = @_;
                        say "received, Size: ", length $body;
                        say $body;
                        $activeCount--;
                        $condvar->end;
                        doProcess();
                };
return 1

And this is the odd behaviour I'm seeing

Active:1, Offset:0
Reading test offset 0 for length 4194303
readData read 4194303
Active:2, Offset:4194304
Reading test offset 4194304 for length 4194303
readData read 8388607
Active:3, Offset:8388608
Reading test offset 8388608 for length 4194303
readData read 12582911

see how readData is being appended and not reset ? Weird huh ! (or, more likely, am I just doing something stoopid ? ;-)
