+It allows you to run I<any> executable under valgrind, generate the corresponding suppressions and convert the analysis output to TAP so that it can be incorporated into your project's testsuite.

 Due to the nature of perl's memory allocator, this module can't track leaks of Perl objects.
 This includes non-mortalized scalars and memory cycles. However, it can track leaks of chunks of memory allocated in XS extensions with C<Newx> and friends or C<malloc>.
 As such, it's complementary to the other very good leak detectors listed in the L</SEE ALSO> section.
