Hi joost,
I re-compile the shared module and run my script again, but the memory leak problem goes on...
I also tried to compile the forks module, but failed when "nmake test" ;-(

To BrowserUk:
The Thread::Queue module is really better, however, it cannot solve the memory leak problem completely.

Now, I will explain to you what i want to do through the my script .

The main thread reads a file list one file after another, and put into the queue. (The file list contains many text files that vary from some kb to some Mb. The total size is about hundreds of Mb. ) And then let the other three or more threads parse this queue, if the queue is empy, then the main thread read the next text file.

I cannot run only this program once on my box, so I have to solve this problem!
Maybe i should try fork, but it might be troublesome. I prefer to multi-thread, which looks much more simple.


Thanx for all the replys.
