How To Install perl-Test-LeakTrace on Fedora 36

In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Test-LeakTrace in Fedora 36. perl-Test-LeakTrace is Trace memory leaks

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Test-LeakTrace on Fedora 36.

What is perl-Test-LeakTrace

Test scans arenas, the memory allocation system, so it can detect any leaked SVs in given blocks. Leaked SVs are SVs that are not released after the end of the scope they have been created. These SVs include global variables and internal caches. For example, if you call a method in a tracing block, perl might prepare a cache for the method. Thus, to trace true leaks, no_leaks_ok() and leaks_cmp_ok() executes a block more than once.

We can use yum or dnf to install perl-Test-LeakTrace on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install perl-Test-LeakTrace.
