I think I need to use a destructor in my program. It works just fine,
producing repeatable results, but now I put in a parameter sweep loop
that runs the whole complicated thing several times and I get
unexpected noisy junk instead of smoothly varying hills and valleys
and slopes. To be certain of the problem, I varied a parameter that
should output a linear result and it was quite noisy. So I thought I
would erase the object the same way I initialized it in the
constructer and then make a new one like this:
# destroy old games database and create new ones
if ($sweep > 0) {
$games = []; # delete entire
Games_Database object
$games = Games_Database->new(); # make a new
Games_Database object
}
I also tried writing a DESTROY() method and calling it, to no avail.
I read perltoot and the article "Better Living Through
Destruction" (IIRC) on perl.com and didn't really understand the parts
on destructors. What foolish beginner mistake am I making, and how do
I accomplish my act of destruction? Thanks a bunch.
