That's normal. As your processes handle requests they will use more memory and grow. Note that these are not memory leaks, since the memory is actually being used by perl, not lost. > Is there some trick about returning memory to the pool after a > handler? No. Processes don't really return memory on most OSes. That's why the optimization tips emphasize not taking too much memory in the first place, e.g. not slurping huge files into RAM. - Perrin
