Something's leaking memory, I'd guess, though I would have thought that it
would take more than 2000 requests before you'd see a problem. Things I would
try to prevent memory leaks:

1. Add "undef $auto_cv;" to the bottom of your script.
2. Put an open brace before "my ($auto_cv)" and a close brace at the end of
   the script.
3. Instead of
         my ($auto_cv) = dicty::CV->search( name => 'autocreated' );
   use the following:
         my $auto_cv = dicty::CV->search( name => 'autocreated' )->first;
4. Put each of the packages in separate .pm files and "use" them instead of
   putting them all in the same file. 

Just some random ideas. Not sure if they will help or not.

If you're upgrading the version of CDBI you're using, why not upgrade to the
latest, v3.0.15?

set_db() is certainly out of fashion, if it isn't deprecated. I suggest using
the "connection" method, like so:

__PACKAGE__->connection($data_source, $user, $password, \%attr);

Refer to:

Hope this helps,
