Re: Perl 5.10.0 Memory Usage

I found some circular references, and after removing them, garbage 
collection worked as expected.

Strange that Perl 5.8.9 destroyed the objects, but Perl 5.10.0 didn't.

Is there an easy way to troubleshoot this sort of problem, other than 
digging through your code?
