Not to be too picky, but just so it's clear to everyone and to future readers of the archives: The issue we're discussing is not "data persistance". Data persistance is when the data sticks around between requests. When lexicals go out of scope the data disappears. It's the actual system memory being reserved by Perl for future use of that variable that sticks around. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
