[Robert M. <rm...@po...>]

All,

I've been working with Jez to add a ClassData() method to Win32::GUI, to 
give us somewhere to store class instance data, without having to push 
it into the blessed object.  I just committed an implementation of what 
was discussed previously on the list (I'd add a url to the message, but 
the SF mail archives are down at the moment).

Whilst doing so we identified a source of memory leaks that I have also 
corrected accross the codebase - the worst of which would only have been 
seen by someone creating and destroying a lot of windows (as we were 
leaving an empty HV around during window destruction ~50 bytes per window).

We were hoping to close down this bug report too:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1417288&group_id=16572&atid=116572

But I can't duplicate the memory leak reported (perl 5.8.7 813, 
Win32::GUI 1.03, win98 and win2k).  Jez reports this as still happening 
on WinXP - can anyone else duplicate a memory leak running this code:

use strict;
use Win32::GUI;

my ($W,$but);
while (1) {
$W = new Win32::GUI::Window(
#-name => "TestWindow",
-pos => [ 0, 0],
-size => [210, 200],
-text => "TestWindow",
);
$but=$W->AddButton(
#-name => "test",
-text => "Button 1",
-size => [ 70, 22 ],
-pos => [ 20, 20 ],
);
}

Thanks for your help.

Rob.
