[OT] finding memory hungry bits of my code

I don't think that it is a memory leak - the size tends to remain
constant after a few requests (it's a webapp - Catalyst under
mod_perl).

I reckon that most likely we're doing lots of innocent little bits of
in-memory caching which all add up to lots of memory getting used. Or
we're using certain modules that just swell up. Ideally we'd find
which bits of code lead to the memory being consumed so that we'd get
a list of places to look at first.

The aim is not to make our code super slim, but rather find the worst
memory offenders and fix them.

Any and all hints and tips gratefully received.

Cheers,
  Edmund.
