[mapserver-users] My gis program

[Lowell Filak]

Unless I'm mistaken there was an additional thread regarding this.
The errors do cause mod_perl to bail but they may be fixable by editting mapscript.pm.
I can't seem to find the thread right now - I read talk of an index issue.
The critical line I can recall is "return unless $_[0]->isa('HASH');" placed at the beginning of the DESTROY methods.
