Sorry but i it's real hard to explain.

Now i'm trying forks. It's actually working real good the only problem is that it doesnt exits the sub routines.

Say my script is test.pl

When someone does !help on irc in channel it starts my help sub

then a ps -x shows another test.pl that confirms that the sub is running. When the sub is done it doesnt kill the newly created test.pl

So after 300 ppl have done !help there are 300 test.pl running :)

If i end the sub with exit; the entire script dies.

Using threads with same script it starts a thread (a new test.pl shows in ps -x) after its done the extra test.pl dissapears just as i want it, but with this code i got the severe memory leak

So i'm pretty close now i think :) just need it to exit the sub correctly so it closes.

I start the sub with this syntax. 

$helpthr = threads->new(\&help, "$ircnick");
$helpthr->detach;

I have tried to end the help sub with exit; and return; all it does is kill the entire bot,
It only works if i restart the irc loop when the sub ends with 
$irc->start();

Thank you yet again for taking time to help me.
