There's no magic program that will load another script and point out problems. The only approach will be to instrument you program and get it to report what it's doing.

Without knowing anything specific about your problem, I'd tend to point the finger at DBD::Oracle (if indeed that's what you're using) since it's the largest module you're using and has a healthy portion of XS code in it. Then again, a lot of people have pounded on it for years so the bugs should have been shaken out of it by now. Are you using version 1.14?

Are you using complex regexps (with the /x modifier and (?{...}) or some of the hairier extensions)?

Have you tried using Devel::Leak or Devel::LeakTrace? (you're going to need a perl compiled with -DDEBUGGING in this case).

Can you post any code? Is this 5.8.0 or 5.8.1-RC1?
