This module tries to help you finding them by automatically checking for common causes of leaks. This module is intended for debugging only. I suggest to not enable it in a production environment. =head1 METHODS =head2 found_leaks(@leaks) If any leaks were found, this method is called at the end of each request. A list of leaks is passed to it. It logs a debug message like this: [debug] Circular reference detected: +------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+ | $ctx->{stash}->{ctx} | '------------------------------------------------------+-----------------' It's also able to find leaks in code references. A debug message for that might look like this: [debug] Circular reference detected: +------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+ | $a = $ctx->{stash}->{leak_closure}; | | code reference $a deparses to: sub { | | package TestApp::Controller::Affe; | | use warnings; | | use strict 'refs'; | | $ctx->response->body('from leaky closure'); | | }; | | ${ $ctx } | '------------------------------------------------------+-----------------' Override this method if you want leaks to be reported differently. =head1 AUTHORS Florian Ragwitz Tomas Doran =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2010 by Florian Ragwitz.
