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.)
