Re^5: Memory consumption of forks on exit

I seems I have not explained clearly my workaround. Let my try again with some sample code:


END {
# sub END {  OOPS!!!
  do_something();
  POSIX::_exit(0);
}

do_this();
do_that();

exit(0);
[download]

update: sub in front of END removed!

I'm sorry, but that doesn't work out on my machine. The peak is still there	[reply]

An END block is not a sub. Take sub off. Just END{...}. The END block will execute before program really exits thereby calling the type of exit you want instead of the normal one as previous monk pointed out.	[reply]

An END block is not a sub. Take sub off. The parser allows `sub <SPECIALNAME>`; it's not an error.	[reply] [d/l]
