Subject: Curious Crash in ensure_index() easily reproduced
$collection->ensure_index($hashref, ($unique=1)); # ok! $collection->ensure_index($hashref, ($unique=0)); # crash! If $unique is undefined it works great. I submit that 0 is a valid false value in perl. -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 114 jumps, 47.2 minutes of freefall, 90.4 freefall miles.

It seems this is more of a docbug, if anything. I was using http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Perl+Tutorial#PerlTutorial- CreatinganIndex rather than http://search.cpan.org/~kristina/MongoDB/lib/MongoDB/Collection.pm#ens ure_index_(\%keys,_$options?) I didn't actually understand that MongoDB had more pods because there's no SEE ALSO section at the bottom of the first pod. -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 114 jumps, 47.2 minutes of freefall, 90.4 freefall miles.

Yeah, that tutorial is hideously out of date. I've created a redirect to the CPAN docs. Thanks for the report!
