Debugging question: tracing the origin of an error.

[RedGrittyBrick]

On a different note, any ideas why Google is sending my notes multiple
times to this forum?

Not specifically. Maybe pressing the back button to view a prior page
unaware that browsers resend form data when the previous page was the
result of a form submission? Maybe just the general nastiness of Google
Groups for anything other than searching archives?

This is actuall[y] the first time I have seen this nuisance arise.
If it matters, I am using Firefox to access usenet via google/groups.

Firefox isn't the problem.

I have no other way to access this forum, or any other.

If you have Firefox, you can probably have a NNTP news client like
Thunderbird (or trn or Gravity or ...)

Since you have internet access, an ISP is probably involved. Many ISPs
provide news servers which their subscribers can access using an NNTP
news reader. If not there are "free news servers" which you can find
using Google or other search engines.

Thanks Ben

Yes, it is confirmed that it gets to line 1485 and no further.

I just made an observation that qualifies this.

As I was watching the output from my script scroll by, I noticed that
this confirmation applies only at the end of the program or when it is
cleaning up when disconnecting from the DB ($dbh->disconnect().
This same code executes without error when cleaning up a statement
handle ($sth->finish(). I see it every time I call $sth->finish()
in preparation for preparing a new SQL statement: I reuse that
statement handle variable at least half a dozen times. So this
TieRegistry code works OK for $sth->finish but not $dbh->disconnect.

Cheers
