I learned my lesson on strict a while ago (thanks monks).
And all my new code has been under strict. Now i watch "top" ,on my linux server. I see my memory leaking from all the old code i haven't fixed yet. I still have a long way to go before i can rewrite everything. Until i do, can i add some sort of flush command to the end of my perl (CGI) until i rewrite them? I am assuming my bad code is what is causing all this lost memory. The more traffic i get, the more frequently i have to restart the server (like every couple of weeks now).
Any ideas on a temp fix with memory flushing till i rewrite under strict? Is this possible or WAY off?
Mostly, my code calls variables into the main namespace (without using my) the program closes and i'm guessing the allocations stay open b/c of lack of "my".
