in reply to Memory leak with socket
It could be a bug. Try it with 5.8.0, which has been released
some weeks ago. And yes, I know you don't want to upgrade
the production server, but you do have a test and a
development area, don't you?
If you don't have a memory leak on 5.8.0, the bug was fixed. If it's still there, please use the "perlbug" command to report a bug.
