[VPM] problem solved (was Re: strange warning I'm getting)

[Darren Duncan]

I'm just writing again to let you know that my problem was solved, so no response is necessary. 

I had also posted it on another list, and got this as a response:

So, following on that suggested line of reasoning, I tracked down the problem in a few minutes.

For those interested, the solution was to add a "$parent and " to the first elsif block, as shown below.

if( !$def_parent ) {
    # do nothing (or throw error)

} elsif( $parent and $container->{$PROP_ALL_NODES}->{$def_parent}->{$parent} ) {
    # PARENT matches a valid node id that we can link to.
    $parent = $container->{$PROP_ALL_NODES}->{$def_parent}->{$parent};
