Can anyone give me temporary access to a Purify license? (re DBI and DBD development)

There are times when I hit a memory corruption of memory leak problem when developing the DBI or DBD::Oracle etc and it would save me a huge amount of time and effort if I had access to a tool like Purify. Purify uses a "named-user on network" policy via FLEXlm license manager. And PurifyPlus uses network floating licenses. I think it's possible to use FLEXlm for wide-area use over the internet, though it'll probably require tweaks to any firewall settings. Alternatively, if some kind corporation could donate a licence that would be wonderful. Meanwhile I'll use the short-term trial licence to help get me over my current problem. Tim. p.s. Yes, I know there are other alternative tools. However Purify is the one that would work best for my platform/driver needs. (For example ElectricFence leads to a "ORA-12540: TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded" error for DBD::Oracle, and valgrind doesn't work on Solaris sparc.)
