I asked the same question back in March. See:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl-mongers.boston/5266
Thanks for the pointer. Reading through it
Is there a way to profile a perl program's memory from within the program?
Specifically, I'd like to take snapshots of the memory usage as various data
structures within the program are created/freed.
Thanks,
