Hi, I am using perl embedded on C + wxWidgets with a threading mechnism.
If a thread is never join, I can see clearly the amount of memory growing after each thread run. However, if it is joined, the amount of memory used gets freed. I had checked that on Windows 2000.

So that could be Windows specific? The application I made was on Solaris. I actually thought it was a memory leak in my code. After I found out Perl couldn't free() memory I gave up on trying to shrink the process size and implemented a multiprocess system to deal with the memory issue. It was ActiveState Perl though.
