I've found a memory leak when a version object is evaluated
in boolean context.

Can be replicated with this one-liner​:

perl -Mversion -wE \
  'while (1) { my $v = version->new("1.23"); my $b = !!$v }'

Run it and watch your free memory disappear.

Confirmed in blead and 5.14 on linux. Others on #p5p observed it on
other platforms and perls, including Windows and 5.12.

I’ve just fixed it in commit bcb2959.
