Boy that last email was not very readable... here is a better one :)
Ok,
Gotta perl program that stays running all the time. It opens a config file,
reads it into an array, closes it, works though the array, then goes to
sleep.
Anyway, I can't figure out how to make perl release the memory the array
uses back to the system. At first I thought I could do it with undef(),
but according the my perl book "Any storage associated with the object
will be recovered for reuse (though not returned to the system, for most
versions of Unix)."
So the question is, how to I kill my array so that the memory is
recovered by the system?
thanks,
schu
