There's a more general problem with this: occasionally, C extensions need to do cleanup very late during global destruction. Usually just a free() or Safefree() to be done after all Perl code is done. Maybe adding a C level hook for this could allow Storable to work around this problem as well? Given what you write, I think maybe not that easily. --SteffenThread Previous | Thread Next
