Hello there and thanks for all your work. While hunting down a leak in my module PDF::Imposition, it turned out that the pdf objects weren't properly destroyed, thus producing impressive leakages on long running processs, because I failed to call ->end or ->release on them. The fix, once I found it, was pretty simple: just call one of the above methods on the objects. I think it would be a good idea to have it documented (possibly in the synopsis after ->saveas), or at least in the doc for the "end" method, stating that failing to do so would leak memory. Of course, this has wishlist priority :-) Thanks in advance Best wishes -- Marco

Thanks for the feature request. For the next release, I've updated the documentation for saveas(), stringify(), and end() to indicate that the first two free memory after writing, and that the third should be called if files are being read but not written.
