APM: Debugging memory leak

Is there a way to track where memory is being used in a large
long-running perl program?

I have a program that after about 6 hours has leaked about 200meg of memory,
and I can't figure out why.  It started doing this after an upgrade from
perl 5.6.1 to 5.8.

I'd like to be able to get some sort of stats on which modules what amount
of the memory is being used in, so I can figure out where to start trying to
fix it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Evan
