There are many parties involved in making your Perl Program work and any one of them could be the culprit. Consider the following:

So as we see, we have a bit of a way to go before we blame the Perl interpreter for this one. As far as "Garbage collection", you have to keep your expectations realistic. You cannot write a Perl script to keep allocating memory and things to work hunky dory because, well you don't have a machine with infinite memory (unless I am really out of touch with chip tech).
