Hi, I did some more tests today. I installed the "Devel::Leak" perl package on the linux computer. This can be used to count number of "object" instances. I hope the package works ok because it's an very early version number (0.02).
Test: I added the data count function at five different parts of the script in last mail. 1. Before the sub method "processFile" call 2. before the "my ($status) = $spamtest->check_message_text($msg);" line 3. after the "$spamtest->check_message_text($msg)" line 4. after the "$status->finish();" line 5. after the sub method "processFile" call Result: a) The number of "objects" between 2 and 4 differ with 262 each time. This is a great number. But it does not seem to be the correct result. b) The number of "objects" between 1 and 5 differ with 19 each time. This is a problem, because I think that perl removes all data created within a sub method call if the data is method local. But it looks like SA is leaving some objects alive after processing one mail. I tried to prove the results of the test. a) I commented out the "$status->finish()" line. This results in the same result as b). The number after the sub method call differ in 19 to before the method call. b) I commented out the complete SA code within the "processFile" method. The result between 1 and 5 is that no objects are left on heap. One more test: I changed the code within the sub method to: ... my $mail = Mail::SpamAssassin::NoMailAudit->new(data => [EMAIL PROTECTED]); my ($status) = $spamtest->check($mail); $status->finish(); $mail->finish(); ... The number of object created between the sub enter and sub leave is still 19. I hope this test help someone to track down the problem or help to check that I made a mistake.
