Garbage Collection with DESTROY Methods: "When an interpreter shuts down, all its objects are destroyed, which is important for multithreaded or embedded Perl applications. Objects are always destroyed in a separate pass before ordinary references. This is to prevent DESTROY methods from using references that have themselves been destroyed." But something wrong in ActiveState Perl ;-(( Are objects destroyed earlier than references and filehandles? I found two ways to avoid errors: 1. Rename DESTROY and manually call it like ordinary object method. 2. Objects must destroyed before "global destruction" (like above). -- Best regards, Lev _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
