If you don't mind your computer restarting, you could keep an eye on the
memory available to MacPerl and have the script shut down the computer
after at certain point (or after a certain period of time).

Perhaps with Applescript...

tell application " Finder "
   activate
   shutdown restart true
end tell

Put a Applescript or MacPerl droplet in the "Startup Items" directory (in
your System folder) that can reboot your MacPerl program when the computer
restarts.
