Devel::WeakRef attempts to provide "weak references" for Perl--things
that can be stored in a scalar, and act like references (to other
reference types only), but do not "tie up" the referred-to object with a
reference count. If the target is destroyed (loses all normal
references), the weak reference will point to undef.

If you are interested, please try it out and let me know if you have
problems with it, or are successful with it. The module uses C and
definitely requires more testing on various platforms.
