Hi Monks

I use a module wich calls a CLI for a specific Java software I use. I work on a win32 machine

When I call the module it looks like this

use appiqcli;
my @eventlist = appiqlist(-event -all);

I then print the array to a file. After the script has compleded the CLI clears the virtual memory on my machine. But when I put the script in an endless loop, see code below and I break the loop it does not release the memory (I think it is because I break the script while it might still use the Java and does not have the oppotunity to clean the memory). My question is how can I write a while that loops untill I press a keystroke or send the script an instruction to stop. This will still allow the script to close and release the memory

use appiqcli;
while(1)
{
   my @eventlist = appiqlist(-event -all);

   sleep(10);
}
