Yeah! I was really happy when it became available. I used to run VMWare
Fusion on my MacBook pro with a Linux VM basically for Valgrind alone. No
need for that any more!
Lucy has a build target that runs the whole test suite under Valgrind:
./Build test_valgrind suppressions=~/debugperl.supp
I've found that on OS X you'll need a suppressions file for dealing with Perl.
The "test_valgrind" target tries to create one on the fly (it's called
local.supp), but it's not enough. And if you've Valgrind/Perl before, you
know that you need a DEBUGGING Perl:

That page is a little out of date. It used to be that you had to get Valgrind
directly from the repository if you wanted OS X support, but now you can get
an official release.
