I'm assuming that this is via mod_perl, right?
It is possible that your script is creating arrays that get orphaned
and can never be destroyed...
A hack solution is to set the "max request per child" option in
httpd.conf to limit the lifetime of an apache child so that the amount
of memory each use doesn't go beyond a certain point...
