Analyzer perl-gco-ref

# Name

perl-gco-ref - Perl GC Object Reference Flame Graph

This analyzer profiles memory usage by tracking garbage collection object references in Perl applications. It captures stack traces showing object allocation sites and reference chains. The analyzer generates flame graphs that visualize memory consumption patterns across different code paths, helping identify memory leaks and optimize memory usage in Perl applications.

# Resource Category
