[Perl-unix-users] memory issues

[Martin Moss]

Title: Secure FTP

All,   I was wondering if I could get clarification on something. I have a class object called $x.   What I want to do is pass this $x into objects $y & $z, and store it internally Thus:-   $y->{x}=$x; $z->{x}=$x;   This Is ok, and shouldn't cause any problems. However what happens if, in $y I have a method which does this:-   sub method {        my $y=shift;     my $z=MYMod::Z->new(x=>$y->{x});       $y->{z}=$z;   }     I am concerned I'm creating some sort of memory leak? I Desperately need to be able to 'cache' objects internally, however I don't necesarrily have to cache '$x' internally, but it would simplyify things a great deal if I could.   So Does 'sub method' cause problems, or should it be ok.   Kind Regards   Marty
