fellow monks, here's the set-up:

index.pl is running and at a time it will gather and eval the string:

$string = 'require ./scripts/eliza.pl';
eval "$string";

now at eliza.pl I have this:

$|++;

use Chatbot::Eliza;

## do something with eliza...

[download]

Now if I run this I get the following warning message:

[Sat Mar 16 21:44:55 2002] C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.pl: (in cleanup) C
+an't access `DESTROY' field in object of class Chatbot::Eliza : [Sat 
+Mar 16 21:44:55 2002] C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.pl: at ./scripts/eliza
+.pl line 34

[download]

the problem goes away if I remove the autoflush $|++ line. Can someone explain to me why is this happening?

He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.
