Going back to the Test::LeakTrace documentation, specifically the part I quoted in my original response, you'll see: "Thus, to trace true leaks, no_leaks_ok() ...". So, if the documentation is to be believed, and no_leaks_ok() is showing no leaks with the modified code, then it would follow that you now have no true leaks. Problem solved!

In your code, the only use you show for %haystack is to conditionally populate @wants. So, rather than coding: 

my %haystack;
...
            $haystack{"$x, $y, $z"} =  [
                poly_roots(
...
my @wants = grep { is_approximately_an_integer( @$_ ) } values %haysta
+ck;

I'm suggesting you do something like this (which does away with %haystack altogether): 

my @wants;
...
            push @wants, grep { is_approximately_an_integer( @$_ ) } [
                poly_roots(
...
