Switched over to Perl 5.14.3, hopefully it behaves better... Couldn't install any newer version as the server doesn't allow sudo.

All I can do is wait and listen to Dr. Bombay and look silly having no clue whatsoever...  Smiley

The worst bugs are the ones that need special circumstances to reveal themselves. Sometimes it's combination of several things that usually don't happen at the same time. Without knowing the exact circumstances, it might take a long time to figure out where the culprit is.

I tried posting a thread full of smilies, but that didn't trigger the error in error log... Only thing different now is that none of the smiley descriptions contain high ASCII characters. All I can do now is to constantly monitor the error log if some other user manages to trigger the error again. It isn't easy as the error log is flooded by Google crawlers triggering non-fatal error in "viewprofile".

Here's an experiment for you - in that section replace the substitution code with:

It replaces the substitution brackets with '~' and allows the '/'s to be un-escaped.

You could also go through and replace the lines one by one and really track down the culprit.

Line 42 is the line that handles 'angry'. Angry and cry are the 3 part smilies.
What version of Perl is running where this is happening?

And is it possible the problem is with a character going through HTML::Entities creating a problem on one of the lines?


Perl 5.10.1

Usually that error is caused by unbalanced "/" somewhere above the line Perl mentions... It is possible that the closing "/" isn't actually missing but Perl thinks the closing "/" on the line is part of quoted literal string.

I tried one by one to run the smiley lines to check if any of the lines could cause any problems whatsoever... Only line that didn't work straight was the "cry" smiley, because it had unbalanced ' and "... But even that shouldn't cause any issues as it isn't inside quoted literal string.

I suspect the error happens earlier and the line it mentions is where some character appears second time and closes quotation.

I'm seriously considering it is a bug in Perl and upgrading Perl might solve or clarify it.

I'll check it as soon as maintenance on my main machine is done - there's also a bit of weirdness with the advanced email check not finding a sub routine it needs.

I found this in YaBB's error log:
