Hi,
I think there is a memory leak in XML::Xerces::XercesDOMParser.
In the DESTROY method there should be something like:
if ($_[0]->can('cleanup')) {
$_[0]->cleanup();
}
The setErrorHandler method saves the error handler in the global hash
%XML::Xerces::REMEMBER. Likewise for setEntityResolver. The call to
cleanup() is needed to remove those references.
