Actually that's not exactly correct: in fact both folders are used. In this script Inline::Java is "use"d 3 times. The DIRECTORY is only specified at one place, so only that instance uses the specified DIRECTORY. Just because the first usage doesn't actually have code specified doesn't mean there's not some being generated behind the scenes... If you set use Inline Java => Config => DIRECTORY => '/home/me/here'; at the top of the script, Inline applies it to all instances. I think this behavior is normal and I think other Inline::* modules will behave like this as well if you specify multiple "use"s. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
