Hi there, sorry for the "fuzzy" question, but I have never seen Perl behave like that, meaning going bezerk when leaving the perl interpretor.
Thanks for the tip concerning buggy destructor's etc... now I at least can start to have a look where it goes wrong. The reason why I did not post any code is that the program is build up of 10 modules a different vendor wrote, approx 5000 lines of code with global vars, dozens of hash pointers, and since it crashes, leaveing the perl interpretor, well it is hard to find the snippet of code that makes perl hang.
Now at least I have somthing to work with, but it also seems to be a bug in the perl interpretor, it shall not hang/infinite loop, when doing garbage collection.
