Subject: Debugger dies on parse()
Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 16:59:22 +0100
To: <bug-HTML-Tree [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: Will Sheppard <Will.Sheppard [...] bbc.co.uk>
HTML::TreeBuilder version 3.23 Debugging it with perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level (on Mac OSX 10.4.11). It dies under the debugger when trying to call ->parse() on, for example, the content from this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&type=move&mo nth=&year= Will P.S. I really tried to register with bitcard *and* OpenID -- it was too difficult! http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Hi, I don't have OSX to test this on, but it works fine on Linux. wget -O test.html http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&type=move&month=&year= perl -dt htmltree test.html FWIW parse is passed straight to HTML::Parser, which is an a XS module and is probably the source of this crash.
Closing as "cannot reproduce".
