Yeah, I was thinking in solutions of this kind
# untested
$ perl -e 'eval q[my $foo = 0; sub {$foo}; die}] while 1'
Maybe "memory leak" has a broader sense than what I thought. In fact,
I believe I couldn't define what I mean precisely, to differentiate the
memory leak of the code above (in case it leaks), and plain, explicit
loops as in "push @foo, 0 while 1".
