You might want to look at the top thread on the following perl forum web site, in the ithreads group. In the web sites case it was tracked down to IO::Sockets, though I don't know if that is where your problem surfaces. /oliver/ Hans: Not ze problem!	[reply]

Thanks! My search hadn't uncovered that, I didn't even know there was a perl.ithreads list. It certainly is the same basic error message, though the attibuted module name is different. The really strange thing is, in my case the attributed module is given as "constant", but my program doesn't use constant, nor do any of the modules it does use. Examine what is said, not who speaks.
