| Pain with perl's method dispatch |

Update: I think it turned out to be my bug, but Perl 5.8.4 and Perl 5.8.7 handled it differently, which still freaks me out.
Is it safe in Perl to cast references up and down the class hierarchy at runtime? It always appeared to work (on perl 5.8.7), but it doesn't seem to work on perl 5.8.4. I see nothing in the changelogs about this.
Look at this:
1..38
ok 1 - web servers started
beginning run
ok 2 - perlbal started
ok 3 - status response ok
ok 4 - one done
upgrading Perlbal::ClientHTTPBase=ARRAY(0x8839950) to Perlbal::ClientHTTP=ARRAY(0x8839950).
event_read_put for Perlbal::ClientHTTPBase=ARRAY(0x8839950). content_length_remain = 0
-- what? It was just convered down the tree to a ClientHTTP!
ok 5 - Good PUT
ok 6 - two done
ok 7 - file good via disk
crash log: wrong class for Perlbal::ClientHTTPBase=ARRAY(0x8839950) at blib/lib/Perlbal/ClientHTTPBase.pm line 543
-- my assertion that the ref is wrong. should be ref $foo eq "Perlbal::ClientHTTP"

ending run
So I'm confused. Is perl's method dispatch cache not being cleared? |
