Old style threads do not work under ActivePerl - only iThreads! The PlRPC modules (used by Net::Daemon, used by DBD::Proxyserver) only support, single, fork and old style threads.
iThreads is supposed to emulate fork on Win32 but this doesn't work for extensions that are not thread safe; this includes "Storable" which happens to be used by the PlRPC modules. I reported this to ActiveState some months ago. Your options are: 1. Don't use ActivePerl - recompile perl using old style thread support 2. Use ActivePerl in "single" socket mode (but only one connection per proxy server). If anyone has a better solution please let me know. -- Simon Oliver ----- Original Message ----- From: Jochen Wiedmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 10:21 PM Subject: Re: DBD::Proxyserver/Win32/Threads? > Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > > Can't call method "tid" on an undefined value at > > c:/Perl/site/lib/Net/Daemon/Log.pm line 75 > > Strange, Thread->self seems to return undef under ActivePerl ... > > Well, please try Net::Daemon 0.36, which I have uploaded to > CPAN some minutes ago.
