Script just stops working with a popup. I'm trying to figure this out. Using Strawberry perl. Win10 log file. I'm hoping this may tell someone what I'm doing wrong or the problem is or simply how to get around it. The Exception is a bad pointer reference in the dll.

I use OptiPerl for editing and debugging, and script fails whether I run it on a command line or with OptiPerl. Always about the same spot. And if I'm being kind of obscure it's because the problem is obscure.

When debugging, I can simple step. Although it's a simple recursive program portion of a huge script, when I single step in it doesn't fail right away, but there is a pause of 5 to 10 seconds. No threads running or anything.

Basically the spot is (with more and more debugging code added):

 if ( ( $g = $Grouping[$i][GEXTGRP] ) != $l ) {
  print "Calling BreakUpGroupingByGroup.\n";
  return BreakUpGroupingByGroup( __LINE__, $match );
 }

$match is a simple variable (0 or 1).

BreakUpGroupingByGroup is executed many times. But when it fails, first statement (debug print) in the sub isn't getting executed. Succeeds many times before.

sub BreakUpGroupingByGroup {
  my ( $lineno, $match ) = (@_);
  print "In BreakUpGroupingByGroup( $lineno, \$match=$match).\n";
.......

Fails repeatedly in exact same instance.
