Hi,

I'm getting a very strange error:

Uncaught exception from user code:
Did not find leading dereferencer, detected at offset 8231.

Its very frustrating because it's not relating it to a specific line of code and I have 8000 lines of code in my Perl module. Often I can use my Perl module find but then when I put in a simple print statement in I get the error. Could you tell me what type of things cause this error?

I used to use prototypes but I took those out. Instead in subroutines I dereference as @{ $_[0] ) when I'm expecting an array as one of my arguments and @_ when an array is the only argument. I use my $hash = $_[i] when a hash is passed as the only or one of the arguments. I store references to arrays as $array[$i] = \@array.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Sean
