Well, that regex on line 905 was inappropriatelly culling out an AND given to the SQL maker in question, and handing it off to the database service... the service (which is relatively young so far and not particularly emotive when it fails) was somehow interrupting or bullying the error_log buffer such that the few lines of warns that came between the regex and the return $sql line never saw the light of day, making the whole ordeal appear as if the subroutine simply stopped on the same line as the regex. And we couldn't for the life of us figure out why the subroutine would abort several lines premature of the return statement... and it wasn't.
So let our embarrassment serve the greater good; don't always believe what the error_log tells you!!! We did and ended up chasing a wild goose.

to protect the client, i am 're-naming' the module names for confidentiality, but I have a seriously weird problem that is not adding up to anything intuitive for me at all.
We have a foundation module that deals with interacting with our databases... higher level modules then base themselves off this foundation,. which provides functionalities such as ->select, ->new, ->save, ->update, ->find ...
well, we've recently upgraded servers and moved towards apache2/modperl2
more precisely:
httpd-2.0.52-9.ent mod_perl-1.99_16-4
I'd say that you should upgrade mod_perl to the latest and greatest and look if the problem goes away.
If the problem persists after the upgrade, please try to minimise the module to a very minimum so we can see the whole picture. Is it an anon sub by chance?
