Whilst trying to debug a script running under mp2/Apache::Registry I was
getting failures where the script would just exit in the middle with no
warnings, error messages or other indication to say what might have happened.
I narrowed it down to a call to a subroutine that wasn't in local scope (I'd
forgotten to do a "use mylocalfunctions::debug" to include my debugging
routines into one of my local modules).
Further testing reduced the cause to a "bless" call for the session management
object I'm using (not anything from cpan). If I try calling an undefined
subroutine before the bless (which at that point is on an empty hash
reference), I get the error message. If I call it after the bless, I get no
error and an immediate exit. I've attempted to reproduce this using just perl
and always gett the error message.
Has anyone seen anything like this before (google, perldoc, etc haven't turned
up anything)? Other than stripping everything down to make a minimalist test
case (which is what I'm working on at the moment), is there anything else I
can do to try and track what's happening?
