Do you happen to use mod_perl? In that case, the problem could be that
you're creating a closure somewhere because a mod_perl script is
compiled as a subroutine.
Things like
my $cgi = new CGI;
do_stuff();
sub do_stuff {
something($cgi->param('bla'));
}
break, you need to either pass everything as parameters, or make your
global variables real globals, not lexicals.
