Thank you, that's it! Removing the exit call from DESTROY solves the problem.

At that point, the DESTROY hasn't finished, so your object is still alive, and thus it will need to be sent DESTROY.... I don't know that this is why you're seeing it called twice, but my tests seem to bear that out: my $obj = bless {}, 'Tryout'; my $count = 0; sub Tryout::DESTROY { print "This is destruction ", ++$count, "\n"; exit($count); } There may be other problems in your code as well, but this one jumps out at me.
