It was a global variable :-). 'Trouble is it didn't show up when using Apache/CGI. Only when deployed with nginx + Starman. That's why I thought it was a Starman issue. I thought these global variable issues were only with mod_perl but they seem to apply to Starman though I couldn't find any guidelines about avoiding such issues with Starman. OK, I know you shouldn't use globals, and there was only 1 in this module, but if it's going to bork your app this badly it should be documented a la mod_perl. If globals are simply not an option rather than sloppy style it should be clearly stated.
