I don't think that it is a memory leak - the size tends to remain constant after a few requests (it's a webapp - Catalyst under mod_perl). I reckon that most likely we're doing lots of innocent little bits of in-memory caching which all add up to lots of memory getting used. Or we're using certain modules that just swell up. Ideally we'd find which bits of code lead to the memory being consumed so that we'd get a list of places to look at first. The aim is not to make our code super slim, but rather find the worst memory offenders and fix them. Any and all hints and tips gratefully received. Cheers, Edmund. -- e...@ecclestoad.co.uk - http://ecclestoad.co.uk Help Perl newbies: http://www.send-a-newbie.com/
