I have embedded a perl interpreter in my application. I start it up and pass it a boot_Clock XS method for a module I made that calls back into the executable. I shut down perl and then reinitialize it, and redo the XS stuff. But after reinitializing, the first time I call a Clock method, I get a fatal perl error: Undefined subroutine &Clock::ctime called at (eval 37) line 6 during global destruction.

It does work fine if I leave the perl interpreter running and never reinitialize it, but I don't want to do that. The reinitialized interpreter works fine if I never use my XS functions.

I am clueless as to what is going wrong. Pointers appreciated.

UPDATE: I was never able to figure out WHY this was misbehaving, but I made it go away by reorganizing my code. It's definitely just an oddity in object creation order in my application and not an interesting perl question, unfortunately. Sorry to have wasted space.
