in reply to Problems with a thread-pooled tcp server

Generally the 'attempt to free unrerefenced scalar' error is an indication of a bug in perl (or XS code). Threads in early versions of 5.8.x are well-known for these sorts of problems. Try upgrading to something newer (preferably 5.8.6) and see if the problem goes away.

    Yes, that was the problem, thanks. I installed a copy of 5.8.6 locally in my home directory and ran it against that and the problem went away. For some reason I was just stuck on the idea that it must be my code, never thought about questioning perl itself :)
