Funny u mention the two lines. I left everything commented out *except* the first CIDR SNMP call, did nothing with the results, just let the data go nowhere, and the memory leak returned. Instead of using in the 700 meg range otherwise, it's now 1.2 GB. With that one call alone.

Net::SNMP is pure Perl so should theoretically be thread safe. None of the objects are instantiated until we're working on a specific device. I call destroy on it at the end of its usage and even if it were left alone it should be overwritten at each loop. 

sub wreckobject {
    $session->close;
    undef $session;
}

And if my SNMP usage is fundamentally flawed u'ld think that all the other calls would blow it up far worse than the routing table lookups. I'll play around with various usages of the object, see if anything changes. The Net::SNMP module was the one thing even in the beginning I was hoping there was nothing wrong with and I did have a Murphy's Law gut feeling that the problem was in there.
