Hello. I'm using Archive::Zip to read Zips of large web server logs. If I read one alone, the script runs fine. When I do more, say point it at a directory full of the year's worth, it runs through the first Zip fine, but then the CPU spikes to 100% and the RAM usage trends slowly upward without stopping. The only thing I can determine is happening is that the objects from the first Zip and/or text file are not being disposed of properly. Can anyone point me to an article on this or set me straight? Thanks in advance. Here's the basics of the code I'm using: 
use Archive::Zip;
use Archive::Zip::MemberRead;
...set up my variables and readdir to get list of Zips...
foreach $file (@files) 
{
  my $zip = new Archive::Zip("$source/$file");
  my $member = $zip->memberNamed('WebTrends.log');
  my $fh = $member->readFileHandle();  
  while (defined($line = $fh->getline()))
  {
    ...process each line and write some values to a file...
  }
  $fh->close();         
}
