Memory leak in Perl?

I'm running perl-threaded-5.8.4 from ports to support spf-milter

http://spf.pobox.com/sendmail-milter-INSTALL.txt

Perl seems to eat memory over a few hours and eventually dies. Most
spf-milter users report memory usage of ~25MB, but I've seen memory use in
excess of 110MB. I know there was a memory leak reported in Perl 5.8.2 but
I've found nothing on 5.8.4. Has anyone else experienced this with
threaded perl?

Regards,
        Chris
