in reply to RFC Magic::Attach

Just an update for anyone who is interested. I'm working on adding the perl side interface to the magic functions (get,set,clear,len,free). It almost works but I'm running into some random seg faults and core dumps. I hope to have the issues resolved soon. Possibly by this weekend.

The code needed to be modified to walk through the magic of a variable and dice up the linked list to remove instances of unattached magic as sv_unmagic removes all instances of a given type of magic. I believe this is where my problem lies. I suppose I don't actually need to clean up these structures as they do go away when the variable is released but it feels like a leak to me so I'm going to continue to try and plug it.

Hopefully there will be a working version posted by the end of this week.
