Forgot about that (my leak wasn't in circular refs, so I'd already done
that to no avail). Its often useful to have a counter:
package MyPackage;
use vars qw/$COUNTER/;
sub new {
my $class = shift;
warn "Now: ", ++$COUNTER, " refs of type $class\n";
bless {}, $class;
}
sub DESTROY {
my $obj = shift;
warn "Now: ", --$COUNTER, "refs of type ", ref($obj), "\n";
}
