Reference counting also tends to be more expensive than most other
garbage collection methods. The cost is amortized across lots of
operations, but it adds up.

Perl 5's not really a stack-based MM language. It's fully reference
counted. (And thus suffers from the same issues as any other
refcounted language) Yeah it will eat up memory if you leave
references to large data structures in global variables or variables
that haven't gone out of scope, but GC has nothing to do with it--the
variables are still considered live, so they shouldn't be cleaned out.

This is more because of some lingering memory leaks than anything
else. Those are just bugs, and get stomped as they're identified.
(The latest versions of perl are a lot better about this)
