in reply to Memory leak in Win32::CtrlGUI? [SOLVED, sort of]

...I've isolated the apparent memory ...

This is more of a question than a response but what tools are you using to isolate memory leaks in Perl on Windows? The MSDN articles I've just Googled all seem to be able to locate leaks in .NET programs.

    I just use Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the process monitor, which shows the CPU time percentage and memory footprint for each running process. In the case of a memory leak, the latter figure constantly increases. I was able to isolate the cause by a process of elimination, i.e. commenting out portions of the code until the leak stopped.
