jethro has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, just found a really simple memory leak:
#!/usr/bin/perl again: my $h; goto again;

I only could test it on perl5.18.2 and 5.20.2. Since it is so trivial/universal, I really suspect this is already widely known, but I couldn't find it mentioned in the perldeltas or on rt.perl.org.

If not, could someone with an up-to-date version of perl test this snippet and forgive me for not wanting to install the newest perl just for this quick check (just run it and look what "top" says, the leak is immediately evident).
