Two ways to track that down:

  $ MALLOC_CHECK_=2  gdb perl
  (gdb) r myscript.pl
  ... script will abort() on the bad free() and drop you at the
      gdb prompt:
  (gdb) backtrace
  <this is the info we need>

or:

  $ valgrind --tool=memcheck --num-callers=50 perl myscript.pl >log 2>&1
  ... there will be very helpful information in log.


Works best if you have debugging symbols, but not completely necessary.
