Thanks for this. I got a similar explosion on Win32 using
fork (pseudo-fork) and fixed it as you suggest by switching
to Storable::dclone. The bug could be replicated, but
depended strangely on input data and other interactions.
It also required lots of work to get an error message.
Initially it crashed with a Windows crash dialog and nothing
on STDERR. Nasty bug.
The error, for the sake of frustrated searchers is:
Attempt to free non-existent shared string '°ÿ2♦',
Perl interpreter: 0x4377f9c at C:/Perl/site/lib/Class/DBI.pm line 1032

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>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
