Re: Disappearing fatal errors and die() with mod

It looks/sounds to me like the die handler i.e. $SIG{__DIE__}, might be/is being modified in/by the Foo constructor - which is, IMO, why your changes in the use'ing code have no effect and undef'ing the object clears the problem.

I would suggest either:

Using a binary chop method commenting out chunks of Foo until such time as the problem goes away and then work backwards from there or...
Find the minimal representative code that reproduces the problem

Then i.e having done either/both of the above, come back and ask again (by updating your node) - with any luck and a following wind, by that time, you might even have identified the problem for yourself.

Thanks for your reply. I got so far that a messed up/redefined die handler could be the problem. It's still one of my main hypotheses. But I cannot explain why: (locally) re-defining/resetting the die handler using `$SIG{__DIE__}` does not solve the issue - it should if that's the problem, shouldnt it? the issue only occurs under mod_perl, not in CLI or with CGI. That suggests the problem could be outside my code. Of course I did my share of eliminating / commenting out parts, got me a bit further, but it takes LONG as there's hundreds of modules, many thousands line of code to go through. I haven't stop looking yet and will continue my quest for the solution, but I was hoping someone else encountered a similar issue before.	[reply] [d/l]

...(locally) re-defining/resetting the die handler using $SIG{__DIE__} does not solve the issue... : nor would it - consider tst.pl and Foo.pm defined as: `#! /usr/bin/env perl use warnings; use strict; use Foo; die "Died here";` [download] `package Foo; local $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { print "Caught in " . __PACKAGE }; sub _die { die }; 1;` [download] When run, `tst.pl` produces `$> perl tst.pl Died here at tst.pl line 7.` [download] As expected ... by me anyway, since the handler has only been locally re-defined at the lower-level i.e. in the scope of `Foo`, leaving the handler unchanged at the upper/calling level. As to your latter question, sadly, I have no experience with mod_perl, so I'm afraid, have nothing to contribute :-(( A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l] [select]
