in reply to destroying object

Just a note: DESTROY functions aren't guaranteed to occur in any order. Not saying anything about your solution, just a comment in general.

Re^2: destroying object (order)

    Perl objects only get destroyed in the wrong order during 'global destruction'. If you avoid globals (enough to get your objects destroyed before 'global destruction' kicks in), then your objects get destroyed in a sensible order, always.

    I also consider this a bug in Perl, even though it has existed for a very long time.
