I need to embed Perl function in C program running as a daemon on Linux and Solaris. What it needs is to do pattern matching in Perl while it is difficult in C. However, frequently calling either of functions eval_pv or perl_run would keep increasing the size of process. How come these functions don't release memory they use. I wonder if this is an existing bug in Perl5 or there is a smart way to handle this. Please help.
This is something you'll need to ask on a perl *5* forum. (This is the parrot/perl 6 dev list -- we don't have the answers you're looking for) If you've got more details, then file a bug with the perlbug utility that comes with perl and talk to the perl5-porters. If not, you might try http://perlmonks.org or the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup.
