I'm working my way through a heap of debug output I've generated, I was trying to make it easy to track objects by finding things like HTTP::Connection=HASH(0xbef7360) and replacing them with HTTP::Connection=HASH(__FD_37__).

I have found somthing which surprised me - I have other objects which exist at the same time which have the same pseudo-address, but are of a different type eg HTTP::OtherClass=HASH(0xbef7360) - ie 0xbef7360 is in the stringification of two different objects in the same process.

Admittedly there are an awful lot of objects about (thounsands to tens of thousands), but I though this shouldn't happen - was I wrong, or is my program really broken? :-)

Thanks,


Pete
