i cannot reproduce this. using the mod_perl-1.24_02-dev build,
i put your code into a Foo.pm, along with:
sub test {
print Foo::debug("test");
}
and called it like so from t/net/perl/test.pl:
use Foo ();
my $r = shift;
$r->send_http_header('text/plain');
Foo::test();
[Foo] [Thu Dec 21 20:20:29 2000] test at
/home/dougm/ap/build/mod_perl-1.24_02-dev/t/net/perl/test.pl line 6
i'm using Perl-5.7.0-dev. you might want to try 5.6.1-trial1. there
are some 5.6.0 bugs that clobber the Perl structure than maintains
filename:linenumber (PL_curcop), not sure if they're related to your case
or not.
