I'm very new to Mason - I'm using it to do some customization to Request Tracker.
I want all my custom pages to be able to access a class which, among other things, owns the handle to my database. I created an autohandler: --start snip-- % $m->call_next; <%once> my $web </%once> <%INIT> $RT::Logger->debug("my autohandler"); use RTx::FooBar::Web; $web || RTx::FooBar::Web->new(); </%INIT> --end snip-- And I attempted to use this in my web page: --start snip-- ... <%init> ... my $catRecs = RTx::FooBar::Records::Categorys->new(Handle => $web->CFHandle()); </%init> --end snip-- But I get the error: --start snip-- error: Error during compilation of /opt/rt4/local/plugins/RTx-FooBar/html/cf/change_request.html: Global symbol "$web" requires explicit package name at /opt/rt4/local/plugins/RTx-FooBar/html/cf/change_request.html line 74. context: ... 70: use RTx::FooBar::Records::Categorys; 71: 72: my @clientFieldNames = ('First Name','Last Name','Phone #','Windows Acct', 'Location'); 73: my @clientFields = ('first_name','last_name','phone_number','windows_id', 'location_id'); 74: my $catRecs = RTx::FooBar::Records::Categorys->new(Handle => $web->CFHandle()); 75: $catRecs->UnLimit; 76: RT::Logger->debug("catRecs count = " . $catRecs->Count); 77: my @categories = @{$catRecs->ItemsArrayRef}; 78: --end snip-- I've tried using <%share> and <%once>, with exactly the same results. How can I get the variable to be shared between the autohandler and the web pages? -- http://www.linkedin.com/in/paultomblin http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ptomblin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
