The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Devel::ObjectTracker
DSLIP: bdpnp
description: Track object life to aid memory leak detecti
userid: JOHNC (John Clutterbuck)
chapterid: 3 (Development_Support)
communities:
comp.lang.perl.modules
similar:
Aspect
rationale:
I have not found any similar module on the CPAN apart from Aspect
which seems to be more for use as a permanent part of an
application. This module is purely for development support (hence
the name) to help check for memory leaks within a perl application,
not perl itself. It uses the perl -d DB::Sub hook to look for new
objects, etc. in all sub arguments and return values and notes the
datetime, call stack, etc. The current list of known objects can be
output on demand. Output is recorded in spreadsheet compatable files
which can be analysed to see when and where objects are created and
destroyed, and more importantly whats left behind at key stages in
an application.
