Not to be too picky, but just so it's clear to everyone and to future readers of
the archives:

The issue we're discussing is not "data persistance". Data persistance is when
the data sticks around between requests. When lexicals go out of scope the data
disappears. It's the actual system memory being reserved by Perl for future use
of that variable that sticks around.
