This is an attempt to gain some summary facts about objects and destructors, some of which I dont believe was covered in the OOP Tour de Force "Object-Oriented Perl" by Damian Conway. So basically I have a set of things here which I am inducing must be true based on what tye and merlin have said, but am not sure and could not find the answer else where and some of which I just thought up myself:
  1. It may be wise to use signal handlers to deal with this situation? Or will all Perl data and functions be destroyed by the time the signal to end the Perl program is sent?
  2. If class A has a reference to class B, then even though Perl DESTROYs are done in mem alloc order (as stated by merlyn, we can gain some control over the order of destruction by maintaining a reference to class B. However, this reference must be lexically scoped? Why?!
