Object.pm line 87 gets the error:

QUOTE

Can't use string ("MT::Category") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use

when I click on the Categories button in the "Manage" sidebar on the left of the main weblog editing screen. So, I can't edit or even look at my Categories list.

Note: this problem wasn't fixed in the v3.11 upgrade.

I have encountered this same error. Is there any reason for this bug, or a possible workaround? It's a major inconvenience.

CODE

sub column {
my $obj = shift;
my($col, $value) = @_;
return unless defined $col;
$obj->{'column_values'}->{$col} = $value if defined $value;
$obj->{'column_values'}->{$col};
}

From object.pm, the longest line is the one that bugs out. Don't know why; perl has changed a lot since I used it to create a pre-eBay personal auction database. heh.

Any solutions or workarounds to this whatsoever? This is proving to be a debilitating bug for my blog.

It also appears to be a database problem, as it affects all blog installations covered by that database.

I still get this error with version 1.312. Someone please talk to me about this problem. I can't get to my Categories because of it.

Do either of you have the Subcategories plugin installed in your plugins folder, or were you using it prior to upgrading?

I'll file a bug report to see if I can find anything out about this.

I have a couple of tar.gz files in the plugin directory, but they haven't been opened to place the .pl files in that directory, so, nope.
