in thread HTML::Tidy - uses up RAM at crazy rate

Thanks for your suggestions on format changes and code improvements - I'll work on putting them in. Regarding size I'm running the script of about 3,000 files. OK at first much slower as it continues. Any ideas? Thanks!

    So you've tried two versions - one with HTML::Tidy->new outside the file loop, and one with it inside the loop? Was there actually no difference in behavior?

    I notice that there's a "clear_messages" function. Have you tried calling that at the end of each iteration? (I assume you've read the man page for this module...)

    Iterate over the list of files, then process each one in a child using system

    I forgot to include that I've got 8gigs of DDR3 RAM and a 1.5GhZ Intel Core i5 processor. Thanks.
