Thank you, Jim, I understand how weaken works and it fixes the leak
here, but it doesn't help much in my program. I guess I should have
described it differently. In short: I want to keep $foo alive outside
of the scope, but it will get destroyed with weaken.

Of course, since it's known thing.
Thank you for your help.
