I believe, based on reading other emails, that he thought that cyclic data structures were leaked by the Perl program and continued to take up memory, which would mean if you could get the address of the memory you could create a set of Perl objects that would survive the ending of a Perl program and the starting of a new one. Of course, this is just a misguided attempt to recreate shared memory via a bug that doesn't actually exist (Perl cleans up cyclic dependencies at program end, you only ever "leak" memory while you are running). -- Chas.
