The only thing that clears up the memory leak is stopping the Perl application and restarting it. But, there has got to be a way to clean up the process at run-time if stopping the Perl process cleans it up. right? Is there possibly a way to unload Win32::OLE and then re-load it? This is the high level process but for some reason the DLL is not cleaning up on object destruction like it should. Has anyone worked with this kind of thing before?</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501083649601_3661"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501083649601_3661">Simplified code...</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501083649601_3661"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501083649601_3735">my $report = Win32::OLE->new($class) or die(sprintf("Error: %s.
