Perl_load_module is in op.c and calls Perl_vload_module (also in op.c) I can't spot anything obvious. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Perl_newSVOP() takes a new reference to the passed-in SV but doesn't increment the ref count. Other places that remove this reference drop the ref count. Looks like an ordinary bug. - tye	[reply]
