AUTOLOADs will catch DESTROYs, the latter being called on every object
destruction (I never noticed that they were called on regexen, that's
nice). Chances are, unless you clearly see a memory leak with DESTROYs
(which are expected not to be found most of the time) then your AUTOLOAD
should probably explicitly ignore them.
Another solution is:
sub Regexp::DESTROY {}
sub Apache::DESTROY {}
etc...
