brycen has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So I'm tracking a memory leak. Can anyone suggest an easy way to get the current perl memory footprint? I tried Proc::ProcessTable and did not find it easy. I'd just like a count of allocated perl objects, or the total C memory size. Devel::Leak and Devel::Cycle have not worked for me, so I'm brute forcing it, and I'm pretty sure the road leads to DBI. Thanks!
