Bug #14301 for POE: POE, Tk and the memory leak

Hi Rocco, We are currently working on a server project, using POE (which is excellent - has saved a lot of problems for us) and Tk (which sometimes drives me completely nuts, not being a long-term Perl person...) :-) However, there does seem to be a small problem with memory leakage when running POE and Tk together. Even the very simple counter program at http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/Tk_Interfaces loses, on my machine, between 8 and 40 k per second...(!) - which is the same as for running the rather more complex server script we are working on. I am trying to use the latest possible versions of everything, POE::Loop::Tk is v. 1.45 2005/04/25, and POE::Loop::TkCommon is v. 1.14 2005/06/29 (I quote these two because I see there is reference to patching earlier versions of them on the web). The operating system is Windows (both NT and XP - same effect on both) and I use ActiveState Perl (5.8). No doubt others have pointed this out - is there an answer? Or should I go and bug the Tk developers instead? Would be immensely grateful for any help. Kind regards Ake
