I recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
Now, some scripts that ran nicely on Perl 5.8.9 are consuming all
available RAM on Perl 5.10.0, and bringing the system to its knees.
The scripts I'm referring to create a series of large objects, each
of which should be garbage-collected
I found some circular references, and after removing them, garbage
collection worked as expected.
Strange that Perl 5.8.9 destroyed the objects, but Perl 5.10.0 didn't.
Is there an easy way to troubleshoot this sort of problem, other than
digging through your code?

You should consider using the perl module File::Find to solve this problem.
See: http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.3/lib/File/Find.pm
It's a built-in module, so there's nothing to install. Just a few
lines of code and you're done.

I ran into problems installing PDL (see http://pdl.perl.org/ ) under MacOSX.
I used CPAN to install the PDL modules on a G5 running 10.3.1 with
the standard version of Perl (5.8.1).
The install was mostly successful, as indicated by the summary:
