[MacPerl] use diagnostics, memory leak?

[Xah Lee <xah@best.com>]

Is the following behavior normal?

1. Get the About Box in Finder that shows the memory bar of MacPerl.
2. Run the following script a few times.
--------------------------
#!perl -w
use English;
use strict;
use diagnostics;
------------------------
3. You'll see that each time the memory bar increase about 1M. After about 3 times, MacPerl will complain out of memory, sometimes auto-exit. Freezes OS occationally.

Is this a bug? I'm using 5.1.5r4 on MacOS8.
