I remember some Perl bug reports about memory leaks with eval'ing some strings.
I believe these have been fixed in blead-perl and the more recent 5.8 are better
than previous ones. I believe most of these are also being ported for the next
5.8 release. But I can't find any links to prove that right now.

Which version of Perl are you running?
