[Dxspider-support] Spider won't start after CVS update

[Bob Nielsen]

I updated to the latest from CVS and now spider won't run.  Here is  
what I get:

It ran fine after the update but this happened after I later shut it  
down and tried to restart.  I had restarted a few days earlier with  
no problems.

The machine is running Ubuntu 5.10 with Perl 5.8.7-5ubuntu1.2.  I  
suspect that the HASH reference message is the pertinent one, but I  
am not a Perl guru.
