Actually I had just written a C programm that calls some perl routines
(for parsing files and extracting some information from that).
I'm not a pro at this so I used the pretty straightforward examples
from the perlguts, perlembed and perlxs man-pages.
Unfortunately this lacked memory like hell.

I posted this question to the PerlXS mailinglist:

http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=perl-xs

at

http://archive.develooper.com/perl-xs perl org/msg00277.html

but never got a reply. So for the moment I have abandoned embedding
perl in C programs. Probably the other way round works better.

Regards
Stefan
