Subject: "null" filehandle is a memory leak
IO::Interactive opens a null writeable filehandle on a scalar reference. The more you print to the null filehandle, the bigger that scalar gets. I did some local tests using IO::Null and the like instead, but I can't get rid of the "print() on unopened filehandle GLOB" warning. No patch yet, unfortunately, but I'm working on it. Fixing this should also fix http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20689
Fixed in 0.0.4. Instead of a scalar var, there is now pipe magic and the data just disappears.
