Take a look at UNIQUENESS OF OBJECTS IN MEMORY in the Class:DBI manpage. I had a very similar problem. In my case I think the object is persisting because it is being accessed from a TT2 page and I suspect TT2 is creating a closure, but I haven't tracked the reasons fully. I fixed the problem with a call to clear_object_index at the start of the handler. I'd be pleased to hear of a slightly more subtle approach though. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
