While debugging SV leakage in Tk I noticed that when GVs are dropped into derived class package to represent the "inherited" methods the GVs have their SV slot filled in with a NULL SV. Is this either necessary or useful? When you have a system like Tk with lots of inherited methods having $Tk::Text::destroy created when you call $text->destroy means quite a few SVs get called into being never to be used. -- Nick Ing-Simmons <nik@tiuk.ti.com> Via, but not speaking for: Texas Instruments Ltd.
