Hi all,

I'm expiriencing strange behaviour of rlm_perl module causing freeradius
be unable to start. Here is the output of `freeradius -X` (running on Debian Sarge
i386, freeradius version 1.1.2):

# freeradius -X

If I comment out the "use Data::Dumper;" line, freeradius starts ok, but then it does
not send any attributes back to the Cisco AS5300, but only Access-Accept (or Access-Reject).

Are there any ideas where could be the problem with loading the Data::Dumper module (since I assume
that not sending the attributes back is caused by commenting out the "use Data::Dumper;" line)?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
	  Nikola Pavkovic
