I've been banging my head on the table with Apache::Session::MySQL today. Consider:
eval {
( my %session, $ok );
$ok = tie( %session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', undef, ... );
if ( $ok )
{
... do something with %session ...
}
untie %session;
}
This doesn't work from mod_perl, because the untie throws an exception following warning causes my web page to fail:
untie attempted while 1 inner references still exist at foo.pl line 250.
Since I don't use any explicit references to %session, this caught me by surprise. I have since resolved it; can you see the bug?
Updates:
- clarified failure per note from ysth. Occasionally I use an english-ish idiom instead of a precise technical term.
- The !! idiom may not be elegant to some, but I find it elegant because it can be read as "dammit," and I was looking for a -dammit flag to work around this failure :)
- The use of $ok instead of the simple if statement occurred because of some additonal logic that I was doing after the tie, and before the untie. It had been omitted in this sample code.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>

-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
