"pattern match read eof" using perl with MozRepl

[whatnext]

dearest MozRepl wizards

I have been using MozRepl with perl quite happily on my previous linux install.
I recently did a reinstall, at the same time upgrading to ubuntu 10.10 - and initially I tried the 64 bit version.I got strange errors using my old perl code with MozRepl (never seen these errors before, and no change to the code), and thinking it was the fault of the 64 bit o/s I reinstalled again on the 32 bit version of 10.10. But it didn't help - I still get the errors.

What errors? My code iterates through a list of websites extracting and saving the info. It makes its requests through WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, and the call is simply $mech->get($url).The process works for some considerable time (50 or so requests), but then starts intermittently returning "No result yet from repl at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/MozRepl /RemoteObject.pm line 676." it continues for a further random number of iterations occasionally spewing this stuff out before it finally croaks with "pattern match read eof at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/MozRepl/Client.pm line 186".

I am fully aware that when something goes wrong it is usually my fault :) and so I have tried exhaustively to find the source of the error in my setup - but no luck so far (I couldn't find any noteworthy reports of this error anywhere to learn from). Could simply be a problem with my new setup. (But I have installed/reinstalled all components many times).

Or... could be a bug? Could be a bug with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox? Can anyone shed any
light?

Firefox version: 3.6.10
WWW::Mechanize::Firefox: 0.45
MozRepl: 1.0

Any help appreciated...

Sorry, neither me nor Luca use MozRepl with Perl, WWW::Mechanize::Firefox are likely to be of more help about this...
