Help with memory leak

[gc <ge...@smalltime.com>]

I'm having a memory leak problem that I suspect comes from a mod_perl
module of mine.  The module talks to a MySQL database using DBI.

I can't see any memory hogs when I check the linux box with 'top',
but after several days the computer inevitably grinds to a halt.
This didn't happen before this perl module was put online, so
either that or MySQL are the likely suspects.  And I think the
former is more likely.

Can anyone point me towards methods to look at memory usage and
leaks for mod_perl modules?

Thanks.
