perl, version 5.005_03 built for i686-linux running on a Dell PIII 500
MHz, Linux 2.2.5

The leak does not occur using the same script and modules using​:

perl, version 5.004_04 built for sun-solaris, running on a Sun Ultra 10,
Solaris 2.5.1

same modules used on both systems​:

libwww-perl-5.44
libnet-1.0606
Time-HiRes-01.20
Digest-MD5-2.09
HTML-Parser-2.22
URI-1.04
MIME-Base64-2.11
Crypt-SSLeay-0.11 (installed against openssl-0.9.4)

I experience a big leak (maybe a small one, but it gets big
since I cycle a lot) in a script which uses almost the same
modules (under linux, I didn't test it under solaris).
is there a way to track down the point where the leak occurs?
the scripts leak even to 200MBytes.
