Xapian discuss - Oct 2007 - Argument isn't numeric in subroutine entry ? Any ideas please...

Hey all !

I'm getting a really strange thing happening in some code that once worked
with an older version of Xapian < 1.0 and that now seems "broken"
in 1.2.0.

Basically if I do...

my @my_terms = qw/query here/;
my $xapian_query = Search::Xapian::Query->new(OP_OR, @my_terms);

my @my_terms2 = qw/nuts beer/;
my $xapian_query2 = Search::Xapian::Query->new(OP_OR, @my_terms);


and then finally:


my $final_query = Search::Xapian::Query(OP_AND, ($xapian_query,
$xapian_query2));



It will throw an error like: 


Argument "Xapian::Query(((query OR here) AND (nuts OR beer)))"
isn't numeric in subroutine entry at
/perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Search/Xapian/Enquire.pm
line 42.


I'm sure it once worked... hopefully you guys can make out what I'm
trying to achieve - any pointers warmly welcomed.
Many many thanks,

I don't understand the error you get, but this line is wrong:
> my $final_query = Search::Xapian::Query(OP_AND, ($xapian_query,
$xapian_query2));
That should be:

  my $final_query = Search::Xapian::Query->new(OP_AND, ($xapian_query,
$xapian_query2));

Or just:

  my $final_query = Search::Xapian::Query->new(OP_AND, $xapian_query,
$xapian_query2);

If that's not it, can you post a complete example script?  It's much
harder to work with just a snippet (for a start, I've no idea what
"entry" does, or which line is line 42...)

Cheers,
