Bit of a terminology problem here.  Kevin is talking about variables 
that can't be garbage-collected until global cleanup due to circular 
references and Perl's reference-counting GC scheme.  See "Two-Phased 
Garbage Collection" in perlobj, weaken() in Scalar::Util and 
Devel::Cycle for more explanation.
