Information about the package, perl-Test-Refcount, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The perl-Test-Refcount package is designed for, Assert reference counts on objects.
Package Name:
perl-Test-Refcount
Summary:
Assert reference counts on objects
Description:
The Perl garbage collector uses simple reference counting during the normal execution of a program. This means that cycles or unweakened references in other parts of code can keep an object around for longer than intended. To help avoid this problem, the reference count of a new object from its class constructor ought to be 1. This way, the caller can know the object will be properly DESTROYed when it drops all of its references to it.
