Perl uses reference counting garbage collection.  It will leak memory if
you have a self-referencing data structure.  For example:

  my %data = ( foo => "bar" );
  $data{loopy} = \%data;

Each instance of %data will survive until Perl exits.  If you want it to
be gc'd you need to undef $data{loopy}.
