I am using perl threads for developing a simulator and ran into the memory leak. I've gone 90% of the way with Perl, so, given the time I've invested, I'd like to see it through. I would like to contribute to fixing the problem. Does anybody have a good estimate of the complexity of the problem? Is it some basic issue with the way threads are implemented or is it a simple issue that hasn't come up the bug list or does nobody know? I'd appreciate your input on how much time it would take someone (a person who understands the code and a complete beginner) to fix this as that would help me make the decision to stick to perl or try something else for the time being.
Thanks, Arvind
