The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Devel::Plumber
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: memory leak finder for C programs

rationale:
Devel::Plumber is a memory leak finder for C programs, implemented
in Perl. It uses Devel::GDB to walk internal glibc heap structures,
so it can work on either a live process or a core file. Compared to
Valgrind, Purify, or various malloc debugging libraries,
Devel::Plumber
* is very slow, * does not provide stack traces * does not work on
MT programs
However it is much easier to use in a production environment
(rather than a test environment) because the program
* does not require any special building or instrumentation * does
not need to be launched specially, * can already be running or even
dumped a core, * if running, will continue unmolested after
Devel::Plumber has finished
