in reply to Attempt to free unreferenced scalar

I assume the source you posed is really from a .pm file, correct? When you save it as a .pl and feed it directly into perl, it dies with "Can't return outside a subroutine" but I suspect you're really "use"ing it from another file.

What does the code in that other file look like?

    When I save your code as 'VM_List.pm' and call it like this, it works fine: 

    
use lib 'c:\temp';
use VM_List;

my @testarray = (1,2,3);
my $test = VM_List->create(\@testarray);

print "test=$test";

    Although calling it with "-Wc" gives me:

    v-string in use/require non-portable at c:\temp/VM_List.pm line 1.

    So I believe that should be a 'require' instead of 'use'. And shouldn't your other use lines come after your package line?

      Should they?

      For modules that export by default, I want it outside my package space. For strict/warnings, I want them turned on at the earliest oppertunity.
