Sorry about the formatting - I'm terrible at reading instructions...
The array does actually contain stuff just prior to the last statement, as it's in the debug output, but I don't know where it goes afterwards.
Is there any strange behaviour in perk that I'm not aware of - I'm using perl 5.004_04 on Solaris.
Prior to the call to get_parentRelPos there are many calls to this:
sub add_containee(\%\%) {
        my ($container, $containee)=@_;
#$container/containeeIndex are references to code providing this infor
+mation
        #find the container
        my ($object, $i);
        my $found=0;
        for ($i=0; $i< @containerRefArray; $i++) {
          if ($containerRefArray[$i] eq $container) {
          $found=1;
            last;
          }
        }
        if (! $found) {push @containerRefArray, $container;
          push @containeeArray, []}
 
        if (defined $containee) {
          push @{$containeeArray[$i]}, $containee;}
}
