After some research I conclude that in several cases the returned value 
was not made "mortal", i.e., the Perl variables could not be garbage 
collected. This was especially the case in methods which returned 
arrays, like GetPoint_2D, which is called from within Points.

I've commited a change to trunk that should fix the problem (it does at 
least in this case). However, this bug has existed in the bindings from 
the beginning.

The changeset is http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/24117
