Please note that reliable destruction order during global destruction was only recently added to Perl, so that strategy is only truly reliable on very recent versions of Perl. This is definitely a misfeature. :-( Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)

Note that, until 5.8, exit() did not run DESTROY or END blocks. So your problem would not have existed then. (But you didn't get the chance to do cleanup that you might want to.)

I'll report that as a misfeature - (ben_tilly) - (4) - Nov. 3, 2005, 11:42:26 AM EST
