I'am at present testing embedded perl both as an extension of snmpd and snmptrapd. (net-snmp 5.2.pre2).

The perl extension to snmptrapd consumes a large amount of
memory even when the perl trap handler is a single return instruction.

with snmpd, the request handler being a sub  with a return,
the amount of virtual memory increases more slowly, but surely.

my system is an intel linux box with debian sarge.

Have somebody already noticed a same behaviour or be able to
reproduce it ?

Yep, that's bug 1009927 (for embedded perl in snmpd): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1009927&group_id=12694&atid=112694

Unfortunately it hasn't been addressed (possibly not even looked at) yet.

While the embedded perl feature rocks in principle, those memory leaks
*unfortunately* don't allow for production use yet. Does anyone care?
