Some clarification on Perl's "use" semantics may be necessary. "use SomeModule;" expects to find "SomeModule.pm" on your disc in your @INC. If it can't find it, then you have a problem.
You may want to re-read perlmod http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.4/pod/perlmod.html and take another look at perlfunc, especially "use" http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.4/pod/func/use.html GlobalPackage just makes your ASP pages all part of the same package, which you specify. -- John Drago -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas Schuetz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 6:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: View contents of loaded global.asa OK one more thing, I was reading through the Apache::ASP documentation trying to figure out where I went a stray and here is where I think I got confused. This is the description for GlobalPackages: GlobalPackage Perl package namespace that all scripts, includes, & global.asa events are compiled into. By default, GlobalPackage is some obscure name that is uniquely generated from the file path of the Global directory, and global.asa file. The use of explicitly naming the GlobalPackage is to allow scripts access to globals and subs defined in a perl module that is included with commands like: in perl script: use Some::Package; in apache conf: PerlModule Some::Package PerlSetVar GlobalPackage Some::Package I think the line that reads, "in perl script: use Some::Package;" should be: in perl script: package Some::Package; Also, I never had to set the PerlModule Apache::ASP::TYPHOON directive in my apache conf. I just set the GlobalPackage to Apache::ASP::TYPHOON, defined my subroutines in global.asa (the global.asa was also in my Global path) and set the package Apache::ASP::TYPHOON; line in my scripts. Am I doing this all wrong or does this list agree that the documentation is misleading or incorrect? --Nick -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas Schuetz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 9:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: View contents of loaded global.asa OK I finally figured it out. All I needed to do is specify: package Apache::ASP::TYPHOON; in all source files I want to use my custom subroutines in global.asa.
