#42717 [Opn->Bgs]: Perl Interpreter Problem

ID: 42717 Updated by: scottmac@php.net Reported By: dbergeron at exec-i dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Performance problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: Report bugs for PECL extensions on the PECL bug tracker. http://pecl.php.net/perl/ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-20 15:40:47] dbergeron at exec-i dot com Description: ------------ Our project uses the Perl Interpreter to access a Perl package that returns an array reference that will be displayed by a PHP class. The problem is that the Perl Interpreter attempts to free non-existent shared strings during global destruction. This dumps over 12,000 lines of text into the Apache log and impacts performance. Reproduce code: --------------- $perl = new Perl(); try { $perl->eval('use lib "includes/modules/";'); $perl->eval('use Assessment;'); $dAr=$perl->{"Assessment::report"}($_POST); } catch (PerlException $exception) { echo "Perl Error: " . $exception->getMessage(); } Assessment is a Perl package that queries a DB2 database and returns data that is displayed in the browser. Expected result: ---------------- The apache log file without all the error messages Actual result: -------------- Over 12,000 lines of text in the apache log file that look like this: Attempt to free non-existent shared string 'exe_ext' during global destruction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42717&edit=1
