Dear Reverends and God-Father of Perl

I am working with Perl 5.8.8 (ActiveState) under windows.

I have serious memory problems, although I allways use strict.pm (working only with local vars 'me $var') and do not use global vars. The program I've written has about 40000 Lines in more than 100 packages.

Do you know a good Package for searching memory leaks under Windows XP and perl version 5.8.8.

I would like to have something like the Devel::Symdump does to produce a list of all variables whose size has changed or are new allocated between two program-positions: 

   my $memdump = MemoryDump->new();

   anyFunction();

   print $memdump->diff(MemoryDump->new();

Exist something like that for ActiveState-Perl?

Thank you a lot for you response.

Update:

Thank you for your responses.

I've tried to install Devel::LeakTrace, but it does not work because I am working with a company-computer that prevents me to update any program (and I do not want bypass the restriction). So I've found that for counting References of objects the allready installed package 'B' works fine. 

    my $anon = [];
    my $otherref = $anon;

    my $refcount =  B::svref_2object($anon)->REFCNT(); # => 2

Also the package 'Devel::Symdump' could I use, to trace the symbol-table. I've copied it into my private Class-Folder

I will inform you about as soon as I found the solution about my memory-leak. (And the way I've found it)
