From The RT System itself

I appear to be running into a memory leak in IO​::Socket which I can't fix. The
following example​:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use IO​::Socket;

my $RemoteHost = 'localhost';
while (1) {
  my $Socket = new IO​::Socket​::INET(PeerAddr => $RemoteHost,
  PeerPort => 80,
  Proto => 'tcp',
  Type => SOCK_STREAM,
  );
  $Socket->close();
  undef $Socket;
}

I can't see anything obviously wrong with this.

I am running

perl -e 'use IO​::Socket; print IO​::Socket->VERSION."\n"';

Any hints what I might be doing wrong, or how I could fix this?

I tried looking through the P5P archives, asked dejanews and EFNet #perl even
(I was that desperate;) but only found a post from someone who also ran into
this problem.

I assume IO​::Socket as included with the default distribution is fairly old,
since the e-mail address of yours in perldoc IO​::Socket bounced?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

[RT_System - Sun Sep 19 18​:30​:17 1999]​:

I appear to be running into a memory leak in IO​::Socket which I can't
fix. The
following example​:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use IO​::Socket;

my $RemoteHost = 'localhost';
while (1) {
my $Socket = new IO​::Socket​::INET(PeerAddr => $RemoteHost,
PeerPort => 80,

Type => SOCK_STREAM,
);
$Socket->close();
undef $Socket;
}

I can't see anything obviously wrong with this.

I cannot replicate this on OS X using 5.4.5 and 5.5.4. Are you still
having this problem in newer Perls and versions of IO?
