  The Perl garbage collector uses simple reference counting during the normal
  execution of a program. This means that cycles or unweakened references in other
  parts of code can keep an object around for longer than intended. To help avoid
  this problem, the reference count of a new object from its class constructor
  ought to be 1. This way, the caller can know the object will be properly
  DESTROYed when it drops all of its references to it.
  
  Test::Refcount provides two test functions to help ensure this property holds
  for an object class, so as to be polite to its callers.
  
  If the assertion fails; that is, if the actual reference count is different to
  what was expected, a trace of references to the object can be printed, if Marc
  Lehmann's Devel::FindRef module is installed. This may assist the developer in
  finding where the references are.
