Hi all,
The perlref docs state "Hard references are smart--they keep track of
reference counts for you, automatically freeing the thing referred to when
its reference count goes to zero." My interpretation of this is that when a
reference goes out of scope the memory used by the referent is freed

I wrote the following using the LWP::Simple module:
print "beginning download of ", ftp_file_size( $ftp_path_gz ), "\n";
$status = download_file( $ftp_path_gz, $local_path_gz );

Hello,
I have a subroutine that is contained within its own module and package. It
currently takes 7 different arguments, but only 2 of them are required
because I can set defaults for the other 5. Since I anticipate using this
module in multiple programs, I'd like to keep the parameter list as
