I wish Perl would at least have an option to, during clean up, decrement the ref count on all globals, destroying things in the normal manner, and after that, would then go sweep up anything that was left over.

I think that this has been fixed, to some extent, in 5.7.2. The following is from the Changes file.

[ 7991] By: jhi on 2000/12/05 15:52:34 Log: Subject: Re: [PATCH] The largest hoax of all times? From: Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu> Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2000 00:40:25 -0500 Message-ID: <20001205004025.A4050@monk.mps.ohio-state.edu +> ... Fix the unpredictable order of DESTROYs. ...
The fix was also discussed in the p5p digest.

Nevertheless, on 5.7.2 I still have problems with Perl objects that contain sub-objects which are destroyed too early. However, I am not sure if this is part of the same problem.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
