Hey all,
We've got an aging web app running on Apache/1.3.34 (Ubuntu) and
mod_perl/1.29 which we know has several memory leaks --- apache has
been crashing of late and we'd like to stop that. For the time being
we're using Apache::SizeLimit but would like to actually find and fix
the root causes too :)
So far, the best tool I've found is Devel::Cycle but using it is hit
or miss. I've applied it in some key spots where we know our data
model has a parent-child relationship as well as some generic factory
methods but actually finding circular refs is like a needle in a
haystack. I've found and fixed 2 so far but am almost certain there
are others there, lurking deep in the bowels.
Are there any better tools or more generic ways to attack this?
