SPUG: Question for somebody

[Creede Lambard]

If the object is created properly you should be able to undef it or just let
it go out of scope as long as there are no more references to it.

I say "if it is created properly" because I've seen some objects that don't
seem to work this way. For instance there appears to be a memory leak in
Win32::ODBC. Repeatedly creating and destroying Win32::ODBC objects (in my
experience at least) causes your process' memory footprint to creep up a
step at a time. Usually, though, the above will do the trick.
