Attempted to do the following simple test script :- 
#SMPP Test
use strict;

my $host='www.some-smpp-mobile.com';
my $port=1666;

use Net::SMPP;
my $smpp = Net::SMPP->new_transmitter($host, port=>$port,
                               system_id => 'Account',
                               password  => 'XXXXXXXX',
                               ) or die;

my $resp_pdu = $smpp->submit_sm(destination_addr => '4478123456789',
                                short_message    => 'test message')
           or die;
die "Response indicated error: " . $resp_pdu->explain_status()
           if $resp_pdu->status;
The trouble is I get the following error message :-
Not a GLOB reference at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/SMPP.pm line 2301.
The code causing the error is :- 
sub status {
    my $me = shift;
    return ${*$me}{status};
}
The SMS message appears to be correctly sent/not sent prior to this error occuring so it is not dependant on the outcome of the sending.

Any wisdom as to what could be causing this bizare side effect.
