No - it's a nightmare.

To debug memory leaks in AxKit, everything is wrapped in eval{}, and I simply 
run ab (ships with apache) on my site watching the memory size (in top), and 
move a line throwing an exception steadily forward through the code line by 
line until the leak reveals itself.

Sounds painful, and it is, but it's a *lot* easier than Apache::Leak, which 
reports way too many false positives.
