I am not counting  on line numbers.  The debugged program exited only after 
evaluating the second line.
I also verified it by adding a "die" line between the lines - and then the 
script dies without the error.

Don't count on the exact line numbers. They can seem a bit off. There are 
various reasons for this and they all make sense once you read up on them. 
Short answer though: don't think of the line numbers as exact.

Your problem is clearly the input, as we've all said. :)

Now the question is, how did you reach such input?
(it does help though that the error message contains the line number in the 
faulty input handle)

Gabor,
Yes, I did try it with perl debugger  (line numbers changed from first mail):

  DB<2> n
main::funcMap(./cpp2idl.pl:707<http://cpp2idl.pl:707>):                    my 
$retValType=$retVal->{'type'};
                                                                                
                                    DB<2> n
main::funcMap(./cpp2idl.pl:708<http://cpp2idl.pl:708>):                    if 
($retValType =~ m/^struct/)
main::funcMap(./cpp2idl.pl:709<http://cpp2idl.pl:709>):                      {
                                                                                
                                    DB<2> print $retValType
enum eAsonTrailRate
                                                                                
                                    DB<3> s

As you can see, the debugger sees $retValType as a simple string, that was set 
in line 707, but the program exit with error.
The strangest thing here, is that line 708 has no de-refencing at all, it is in 
the previous line that it happened.
