Hey all I need your help. I've been tasked with finding a memory problem in our system. Our apache children will typically reach a 40MB Limit in about 10mins. I suspect that the problem is in our custom modules and not carefully importing only what is needed. I was trying to locate a way of finding a Module's memory footprint. I found Mr. Beckman's little code snippet in Practical Mod_perl however it uses GTop.pm and for some reason I can't get this to install on either my laptop or the development server. Is there another module out there that will tell me similar information? Please help!
