JG> If it is the same for other language, I am happy! there are many ways to leak and waste ram. some langs have garbage collection which is safer than perl's reference counting for ram cleanup. but almost all serious leaks are the fault of the coder. and you can waste ram in any language just with poor coding. nothing can stop a bad coder from building up ginormous data structures and never freeing them and always adding more to them. seen it many times. just poor designs and bad code. perl is no more or less susceptible to that issue. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
