Are you using ActiveState Perl, or their Komodo debugger? I an forever getting that message when I use those two together. I've never been able to isolate the cause - when I make changes, the problem usually goes away. I think it's a bug in ActiveState's software, and not in a module, though I can't prove this.	[reply]

Using ActiveState Perl but not their debugger. The problem originally showed up the the class I'm working on to support IE::Mechanize. The code I posted is greatly simplified from the class and entirely different. The problem has persisted across all changes I've made to date so I'm inclined to think it is likely a problem in Win32::OLE, PERL, or some combination. Testing suggest that it may have something to do with memory management and/or reentrancy, but that's just a guess.	[reply]
