NAME

Perl::SVCount - Get global count of allocated SVs

SYNOPSIS

    my $count = sv_count();
    ... # some code here
    say "Allocated " . (sv_count() - $count) . " more SVs";

DESCRIPTION

This module allows to access perl's internal global counters of allocated SVs and objects. This might be useful for quickly detecting memory leaks.

sv_count() returns how many SVs (scalar values) are currently allocated.

sv_objcount() returns how many blessed SVs (pbjects) are currently allocated.
