Does Win32::GUI give memory back to the OS (WinNT)? I know this has been an on and off topic for Perl in general. And the answer is usually, no, Perl does not give memory back.
Try this experiment: open any GUI script (seems to be true for any, at least on WinNT 4.0). While it is open, open Windows TaskManager and goto Processes tab. Identify the perl process. Note the Mem Usage. Leave TaskManager open and minimize the perl gui window. Note the Mem Usage. Then restore the perl gui window to its original size. Note the Mem Usage. On my system, it would appear that minimizing and restoring the window reduces the amount of memory the gui script uses (by quite a bit!). Is this true or is it some slight-of-hand?
