in reply to Profiling woes

Without seeing any of your code it is difficult to guess what is happening.

Maybe some of the modules module you are using, uses (or abuses) the debugging API, which may conflict with the profilers.

Are you able to run the same script under the debugger successfully?

    The modules used should not mess with the debugger, but who knows indeed.

    I did not try the debugger, but I will.

    Thanks for the answer.

      BTW, I am the author of Devel::FastProf and the maintainer of Devel::SmallProf and would really appreciate having bug reports for those modules describing your problems in detail!

        As you thought the probleme was an unexpected interraction with the debugging API.

        There is no real bug report to do, expect perhaps a note : one should not expect to profile/debug a program in which he uses the DB module

        For more details you may refer to my update to the top mode

        Thanks again for the help.
