How does one conclusively detect the leakage ? I didn't really expect there
to be any leaks (and couldn't detect any) - but on second thoughts perhaps
there *is* a need to clean up av_pcm.

Looks to me that the C code (generated by xsubpp from the XS code)
mortalises av_ret - so this should not achieve anything. Here's the relevant
code from that C file:
XS(XS_main_test); /* prototype to pass -Wmissing-prototypes */
XS(XS_main_test)
{
dXSARGS;
if (items != 2)
Perl_croak(aTHX_ "Usage: main::test(mode, rpcm)");
{
int mode = (int)SvIV(ST(0));
SV * rpcm = ST(1);
AV * RETVAL;
RETVAL = test(mode, rpcm);
ST(0) = newRV((SV*)RETVAL);
sv_2mortal(ST(0));
}
XSRETURN(1);
}
Also, I was puzzled by the SvREFCNT_inc() call in the original code. I can't
see that it is either needed or desirable ..... still, one thing I've learnt
about XS issues is
to have little confidence in my expectations :-)

Sorry - dumb question. The answer is system dependent - and if I had been
looking in the *appropriate* place in Win32's Task manager I wouldn't have
had to ask.

Nope - wrong again (surprise, surprise). Memory usage *does* increase
without the " sv_2mortal(av_ret);" .
Now .... off to make some senseless noise elsewhere :-)

How about inheriting methods from a noninstantiable project parent class
instead?

Rather than having the parent class create the objects, how about just
having the parent code store the objects it is given by some init code?
package Parent;
my $dbh;
sub set_dbh {
die "Can't change once set!" if defined $dbh;
$dbh=$_[1];
die "Not a valid database handler" unless $dbh->ping();
};
sub get_dbh { $dbh};
my $logger;
sub set_logger {
#....
I don't see how this fundamentally different from just using
"some hack with global variables", but then again I haven't drunk the
cool-aid.

Hi all
Im using

$USER and $INSTANCE are variables from my perl program
However $2 is suppose to be from the pipe output.
Somehow Perl is interpreting $2 to be some variables from the program
itself
So how can differentiate the program variables and system variables?

Well, the first question would be why are you forking out an external grep
with all the process overhead involved instead of simply using Perl's
buildin grep() command. And the same for awk. There is nothing that awk can
do that Perl can't do.

Actually now. $2 is supposed to be passed literally as a command line
argument to awk without any interpolation whatsoever.
> Somehow Perl is interpreting $2 to be some variables from the program
> itself
Of course. It is the second group that was matched successfully by the most
recent regular expression.
> So how can differentiate the program variables and system variables?
You don't. $2 is not a 'system' variable, whatever that is supposed to mean.
You want to pass the literal text '$2' to awk. And that's simply done by
escaping the $ sign with a backslash.

Try it like this instead:
print
map { ( split )[ 1 ], "\n" }
grep /\Q$INSTANCE/,
`ps -fu $USER`;

DISCLAIMER - I AM NOT A LAWYER
In the US, the defense against a libel claim is to prove the statement
or accusation is true.
In the US, libel involves damage to someone's reputation by means of
deliberately false statements or accusations. Expert opinion is
explicitly protected from libel claims unless it malicious.
Non-expert opinion is generally judged on the intent of the author.
Unprovable supposition is generally held to be non-libelous, however
unprovable accusation is not allowed.
Moreover, in the US, political figures are explicitly denied some (but
not all) libel protections because it is expected that their actions
will cause some measure of public dissent.
I don't know UK defamation law but I suspect it is quite similar to US
law. In your polite example, your opinion of Tony Blair's policy
would be unprovable supposition at the time of the writing (as would
Blair's own) and would therefore not be libelous. However, if your
opinion took an accusatory tone saying, for example, that he was
increasing the public deficit to line his pockets, then you had better
be right.
