in thread Threads calling LWP causes exception

Having just installed Crypt::SSleay from 

C:\Perl\packages>ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-S
+SLeay.ppd
====================
Install 'Crypt-SSLeay' version 0.51 in ActivePerl 5.8.6.811.
====================

[snip ...]

Successfully installed Crypt-SSLeay version 0.51 in ActivePerl 5.8.6.8
+11.

I ran my cut dwon version of your script against the https url you embedded in your code, and it ran through clean:

If you got your version of C::SSLeay from somewhere else or built it yourself you could try re-installing as above. If not, you could try regressing to AS811. I had various problems with AS815 and regressed to fix them. I'm awaiting 5.8.8 before I ungrade.

    I regressed to AS811 and reinstalled the version of C::SSLeay you suggested. Still get the exception. I can repro this on several machines on both Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2000 Server, and XP. Maybe I'm missing a package?

      Sorry, I'm afraid you've moved beyond my ability to diagnose. This is your code exactly as posted, and the second run with the number of threads increased to 10, but otherwise unchanged:

      I'm at a loss to know what else to suggest. If you had a missing required package, I would expect you to be seeing an error message detailing that, not an exception.

        Well this is real interesting. I setup a Windows 2003 Server without MS VS .NET 2003 installed on it. The Perl code works fine. I guess I'll move to a different dubugger soon. BTW, how can I get rid of the "Scalars leaked"?
