kanwisch has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've put in a module on our development server that does RC5 encryption in a "special" (not shortbus kind) of manner. When I run a script using this, I get out the expected cyphertext given the input string.

However, when I put a "use DBI;" at the top of my program, BANG!, I get an "END failed--call queue aborted". Now, the module I installed doesn't use BEGIN or END anywhere in it, yet the error only occurs when I call a function from the RC5 module. Any thoughts on where I should post, and with what to get a little push in the solution direction?

I've put in a workaround, for now, that sends the cypher text over http, but would rather not do that using the two scripts.

    From your module, do you do Namespace pollution by exporting variables or subs/methods into your main-Namespace? If yes, is the problem still existing if you don't do that and call the functions by package::myfunction.

    If your module doesn't use an own package, consider using an own.

    I can't tell you more by now without having seen the code...

    Best regards,
    perl -e "print a|r,p|d=>b|p=>chr 3**2 .7=>t and t"
