This is a bug report for perl from bsb@strategicdata.com.au,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.33 running under perl v5.6.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
I've been trying to track this down but I'm way out of my depth and
it's not too important to me that it's fixed, so over to you...

Sample symptoms, this printed on stderr:
  *Regexp::DESTROY.
  Out of memory!
  Out of memory!
  END failed--call queue aborted at a line 36.

I've pared down my the original problem but it still uses DBI(1.21) 
and Carp.  I haven't delved into them for more information (sorry).

Some of the code versions from my error hunting are in
http://bowman.bs/perl/bug1.txt for anyone way too interested.

During the hunt I got "*Regexp::DESTROY.", "Out of memory!",
"*main::Regexp::." "Can't return outside a subroutine" (in a sub...), 
and "Modification of a read-only value attempted" errors, seemingly
randomly.  

Adding a print at various points, or even changing the printed strings
would change the behaviour and error.

Adding an exit would cover the error messages.

Errors always seemed the same on repeated runs of the same code.

At one stage I got a different result depending whether I ran
the script as 'perl a' or './a':

  [14:20 sb]$ head -n 1 a
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  
  [14:20 sb]$ perl a
  in HandleError
  lalala
  this print needs to be here
  *Regexp::DESTROY.
  Out of memory!
  Out of memory!
  END failed--call queue aborted at a line 36.
  
  [14:20 sb]$ ./a
  in HandleError
  lalala
  this print needs to be here
  *Regexp::DESTROY.

Here's the code I stopped with, output after the __END__:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
use Carp;

sub create {
    my ($object) = @_;
    my $dbh =  DBI->connect(
            "DBI:mysql:test:localhost",'test','',
    { HandleError => sub { warn "in HandleError\n"; confess(shift) }, }
        ) or warn "Can't connect to database: $DBI::errstr" and exit;

    $dbh->do('drop table if exists slot');
    $dbh->do('create table 
                slot (name varchar(10), object text, unique (name))');
    $dbh->do("insert into slot (name,object) values (?,?)",undef,
        'test','');
    $dbh->do("insert into slot (name,object) values (?,?)",undef,
        'test',$object);
    # realize that sticking a stringified object into a text field
    # isn't that useful, but original test was using Storable::freeze
    return 1;
}


{   
    eval { create({1,1}); };
    qr/dup/i; # no longer used... 
    #print $@;
    print "lalala\n"; # changing the strings contents effects errors!
}
print "this print needs to be here\n";

__END__

[14:48 sb]$ perl a
in HandleError
lalala
this print needs to be here
*Regexp::DESTROY.
Out of memory!
Out of memory!
END failed--call queue aborted at a line 22.

Thanks,

Brad
