in reply to Problems with unopened filehandle after upgrade to ActivePerl 5.6.1

have you tried tracing through things in a debugger? you might be able to find where things are broken by periodically evaluating statements as you move through the code.

    How would I use the debugger to do that? (I haven't been able to make any sense of it so far...)

    Thanks for the suggestion

      Try perldebug. And if you have the Camel book, there's a whole chapter there on using the debugger.
