I'm running ActivePerl 5.6.1 Build 633 on Win2000 SP3, with

Server version: Apache/1.3.27 (Win32)
Server built:   Oct  3 2002 18:55:42
Server's Module Magic Number: 19990320:13
Server compiled with....
 -D HAVE_MMAP

 -D NO_OTHER_CHILD
 -D NO_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
 -D HARD_SERVER_LIMIT=1024
 -D MULTITHREAD

with MOD_PERL = mod_perl/1.27_01-dev

and I tried your code as you had it set up, and I was getting leaks.
I also tried it under Apache::Registry, and I was getting leaks.
I also tried it as straight cgi, and still, I was getting leaks.
Then I thought, hmm, so I tried even the simplest of cgi programs under cgi/mod_perl and I was getting leaks. I'll try Apache2 later, maybe my luck will change and i'll be more helpfull.

I suggest you try running it under Apache::Registry and as straight CGI, and then inquire on the module's mailing list cgiapp-subscribe@lists.erlbaum.net and maybe the mod_perl mailing list.

Good luck.

update: btw, perl -MCGI::Application -e"die $CGI::Application::VERSION" yields [Thu May 22 00:20:15 2003] -e: 3.0 at -e line 1.
