Hello,

I seem to be having an issue with CDB_File (0.96) I've reproduced this on OS-X 10.5.2, FreeBSD 7.1, and SuSe 10x, so I think it must be in the module and not system related. (Or, maybe, I'm using it wrong).

At any rate, here is some code:

use strict;

use CDB_File;


my $cdb_file = 'test.cdb';
my $cdb = CDB_File->new($cdb_file, "$cdb_file.tmp") or die "Unable to 
+create CDB file: $!";
while(1)
{
  $cdb->insert('leak', 1);
}
[download]

When this script runs the process's memory footprint grows larger and larger. I thought it might be related to re-inserting the same key over-and-over, so I changed it to something like 'leak'.$i and observed the same behavior.

I reported this as a bug at rt.cpan.org, but thought maybe I'd post it here in case other's had (or have, or will have) a similar issue and someone has a solution.

Thanks, as always!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
