[Kde-perl] Massive PerlQt memory leakage

[Marius Kjeldahl]

Just an update; the patch certainly slowed down leakage alot, but it is still 
there. We've just completed a more or less line-for-line port to C++, and there 
we see no leakage. I would suspect more leakage in C++ (considering explicit 
memory management), but so far we have no leakage in the C++ version. So if you 
are going to create long running processes using PerlQt, you might want to do 
some benchmarking yourself first.
