+.SH NAME

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pl_malloc.d
+{ \-p PID | \-c cmd }

+This is an expiremental script to identify who is calling malloc() for
+memory allocation, and to print distribution plots of the requested bytes.
+If a malloc() occured while in a Perl subroutine, then that subroutine is
+identified as responsible; else the caller of malloc() is identified as
+responsible - which will be a function from the Perl engine.
+
+Filename and subroutine names are printed if available.
+.SH OS

+Evolving - uses the DTrace Perl provider, which may change
+as additional features are introduced. Check Perl/Readme
+to see what version these scripts are based on.

+.SH DOCUMENTATION

+Examples, Notes and Docs directories. The example files may be
+especially useful as they aim to demonstrate how to interpret
+the output.
