Do you have the embedded perl interpreter enabled? Are all your perl  
plugins specifically built to work with the embedded perl interpreter  
(they need to be). I'd try disabling the embedded perl interpreter in  
nagios.cfg and see if that makes a difference. If so, you can try to  
identify the specific plugin(s) that are a problem by re-enabling it,  
disable ePN for all the plugins with '# nagios: -epn' then re-enable  
individually to see if the leak re-appears. Information on how to  
control plugin execution through the ePN can be found near the bottom  
of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/embeddedperl.html
