Dear Monks, I have a perfectly working perl/Tk script that we use for network management. It runs on Centos 5.6 and perl version is 5.8.8 I installed a new PC running Centos 5.7 and perl 5.8.8. I made sure all perl modules the script needs are installed. But I keep on getting the following error on the new machine: 
Unable to create sub named "" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-l
+inux-thread-multi/AnyEvent.pm line 1488.

The lines in the script relevant to this are: 
my $inotify = new Linux::Inotify2 or die "unable to create new inotify
+ object: $!";

# add watchers --watch the snmptrapd.log file
$watchObject = $inotify->watch ("/var/log/snmptrapd.log", IN_MODIFY, \
+&processTrap);

$inotify_w = AnyEvent->io (
                           fh => $inotify->fileno,
                           poll => 'r',
                           cb => sub {
                                      $inotify->poll ;
                                     },
                          );

The sub processTrap is defined.If I comment the 
$inotify_w= AnyEvent->io (...

line, the code does not give an error and quit. But obviously I need that line. Any wisdom is appreciated...
