You can steal some code from Apache::SizeLimit or Apache::GTopLimit to print the current size in the error log. Otherwise, just use top. Keep in mind that sometimes a leaky piece of code will have to be run several times before you see the leak, because of the way that Perl allocates memory in chunks. - Perrin
