Will do. For right now, I have a hunch that Crypt::SSLeay may *not* be thread safe. I'm using WWW::Mechanize on some SSL sites in a multi-threaded fashion and I'm getting the following error periodically:
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/perl: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0c061650 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0x4e5424] /lib/libc.so.6[0x4e7206] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_realloc+0x101)[0x4e7d30] /lib/libcrypto.so.5[0x6c1b95] /lib/libcrypto.so.5(CRYPTO_realloc+0x81)[0x6c21e4] /lib/libcrypto.so.5(sk_insert+0xce)[0x70c5f0] /lib/libcrypto.so.5(sk_push+0x2a)[0x70c6fa] /lib/libcrypto.so.5(EVP_PBE_alg_add+0x6e)[0x71958f] /lib/libcrypto.so.5(PKCS12_PBE_add+0x3e)[0x74ffb2] /lib/libcrypto.so.5(OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers+0x4ed)[0x717639] /lib/libcrypto.so.5(OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf+0x17)[0x71713f] /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLeay.so(XS_Crypt__SSLeay__CTX_new+0x33c)[0xecd990] /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so(Perl_pp_entersub+0x3a5)[0x39398c] /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so(Perl_runops_debug+0x141)[0x3756e1] /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so[0x322b9e] [... snip ...] A quick Google search resulted in a few hits with others having similar problems. It's certainly not definitive yet, but this is where I'm going to focus my efforts. If anyone is using Crypt::SSLeay (through LWP or Mechanize) in a multi-threaded fashion successfully, I'd be interested in hearing from you. I'll let you know what I find. If anyone has any debugging tips for this type of error, I'd be happy to try them out! :-) Chris On 4/17/06, Andy Lester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Apr 17, 2006, at 4:36 PM, Christopher Hart wrote: > > > Can anyone speak to the thread-safeness of WWW::Mechanize?
