Hello, Monks! I have an application which extensively creates and destroys window controls, such as labels, buttons etc..
To get rid from window control I use Win32::GUI::DestroyWindow, but seems this method is not working properly, see example: 
use strict;
use Win32::GUI();

my $main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(-name => 'Main', -text => 'Perl',
                                -width => 200, -height => 200);

                                
$main->AddLabel(-name => "Label", -text => "Hello, world", -left => 20
+, -top => 20, -notify => 1);

sub Label_Click
{
    for (1..1000)
    {
        Win32::GUI::DestroyWindow($main->{"Label"}{-handle});
        delete $main->{"Label"};
        $main->AddLabel(-name => "Label", -text => rand(), -left => 20
+, -top => 20, -notify => 1);
    }
}

$main->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();

sub Main_Terminate 
{
    -1;
}

When I click on label the program creates/destroys control many times. But seems there is huge memory leak, when using this method. Is there any "proper" way do destroy window control?
