Below is a simple linux perl program that shows that this module has
some memory leaks:
use warnings;
use strict;
use Lingua::EN::NameParse;
for my $i ( 1 .. 100 ) {
my %args = (
auto_clean => 1,
force_case => 1,
lc_prefix => 1,
initials => 3,
allow_reversed => 1
);
my $parser = new Lingua::EN::NameParse(%args);
my $mem = `ps h -o size $$`;
chomp($mem);
$mem = sprintf( "$i :: %.1f", $mem / 1024 );
print "$mem\n";
}

Iteration 100: 134.3 MB
There seems to be a circular reference somewhere.
