Yes. But that said, your experience seems to be increasingly common. I suspect a popular module (DBI? mod_perl?) has started playing nasty XS tricks that are confusing Devel::Profiler. One thing you can try is adding modules to bad_pkgs until the problem goes away. Start with anything written in C. Alternately, write a package_filter which only tries to profile the modules you're interested in. For example, on the Krang project I used a package_filter that only instrumented modules in the Krang:: namespace. -sam
