Dumping / Profiling Memory ?

[Jonathan Vanasco]

Does anyone know if there's something in httpd / mod_perl that will  
let me dump and analyze the memory in the child (and possibly the  
parent)?

My children are pegged at 6-13MB of private memory, on top of  
80mb ?!? of parent memory

I'm trying to figure out what in the hell isn't sharing, or causing  
the growth.   Everything in my modules is ' use strict', OOP and tons  
of caching before forking.  i've been able to test that the cached  
data (which is only like 400k) is indeed staying shared using  
Apache::Peek

I haven't found anything in CPAN, and none of the stuff in Perlguts  
looks like it could handle this.
