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.
