You can inspect individual objects with Devel::Peek but you might find GTop more useful. If installed on a system that has libgtop, it can report the total memory for any process. Calling it like so:
use Gtop;
my $gtop = GTop->new();
my $mem = $gtop->proc_mem($$);
# Now you can use $mem->share / $mem->rss / $mem->vsize
You could monitor these before creating new objects and check if your script is using more than a "sane" amount and quit if the threshold is reached.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
