My hosting company says our perl script has memory leak. When under load, it eventually uses up CPU. My guess is their shared server just can't handle the user volume (10K per day). Does anyone know a good Perl debugging script on Windows so I can prove them right or wrong?

Script doesn't do any database access...it is basically doing an XML request and data parsing.

If TOS doesn't allow program names or links, please just PM me.

Thanks.

Have a look at the docs for your XML parser... Some don't free the memory they malloc without an explicit $obj->delete. I know that one has bitten me before.

BTW, memory leaks and CPU hogging are two separate things... You may want them to quantify the problem.
