Okay, this might be a dumb question... But does anyone know how to use Valgrind with a Perl script?
I know that you can only use it on an executable. And I can't seem to find any kind of tutorial or anything online that uses a Perl script - they all use C code.
Thanks!

Nevermind! I finally found the answer. You have to type
valgrind perl something.pl

Nevermind I was wrong :(
That makes it debug the perl interpreter!
