* Package name : libtest-memory-cycle-perl Version : 1.02 Upstream Author : Andy Lester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Memory-Cycle/ * License : As perl itself (GPL or artistic) Programming Lang: Perl Description : Check for memory leaks and circular memory references in perl unit tests Hello I've noticed this package which is very usefull for any serious perl development. >From the manpage: Perl's garbage collection has one big problem: Circular references can't get cleaned up. A circular reference can be as simple as two objects that refer to each other. Test::Memory::Cycle is built on top of Devel::Cycle to give you an easy way to check for these circular references. You can also use memory_cycle_exists() to make sure that you have a cycle where you expect to have one. Note that this module depends on Devel::Cycle (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Devel-Cycle/) which is not packaged by debian.
