well, at least that's what perldiag tells me about this error:

    panic: corrupt saved stack index
         (P) The savestack was requested to restore more
         localized values than there are in the savestack.

and i got the error from this code:

#!/usr/SD/perl/bin/perl

use lib './testlib';

use strict;
use ObjTest;
use Internal::DBI;

my $dbh = logon();
my $sth = $dbh->prepare('select hostname from host');
$sth->execute;

my @hosts = map { $_ = $_->[0] } @{ $sth->fetchall_arrayref }[0..20];

foreach my $name ( @hosts ) {

      my $host = ObjTest->new( name => $name );

      my $true = $host->is_router();

      print "RETURNED:  $name is a router\n\n" if ( $true );

      undef $host;

      }

$sth->finish;
$dbh->disconnect;

where ObjTest is a new module that uses gethostbyname to get the IP addr of a host, and then creates a new SNMP::Session. the SNMP::Session is then used by the 'is_router' command to get 'whyReload' from the router. like so:

sub is_router {

      my $self = shift;

      my $session = $self->{SESSION};

      my $varbind = SNMP::VarList->new( [ 'whyReload' , 0 ] );

      my $result = $session->get( $varbind );
      if ( $session->{ErrorStr} ) { return 0; };
      if ( $result =~ /winnt/i ) { return 1; };

   }

if the above test program is run for 2 hosts ( i've manually defined @hosts ), i don't see the error. but when i run it for 20 hosts, i get the error EVERY time. and I'm not supposed to see it. . . any ideas on how to make it go away?
