in reply to WWW::Curl mysterious header values persisting

You reset $hdr, but you still keep the filehandle $fh open to it. I'm surprised that the results are rather benign.

If you want to modify $hdr while still keeping the filehandle open, I suggest that you manipulate $fh instead:

seek $fh, 0, 0;
truncate $fh;

    Thanks corion, I thought it might be something obvious and didn't see that.

      Just to confirm. Replacing "$hdr = ''" with "seek $fh, 0, 0;truncate $fh, 0;" fixes the problem. I was seeing.
