Hello,
I'm having problems migrating a site to mod_perl,
using the Apache::Registry module.
Scenario:
-I have 2 CGIs (cgi1 and cgi2).
-CGI1 is a soft link, and uses FindBin:
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::RealBin";
use MyLib;
-CGI2 is not a soft link and also uses FindBin;
After running several times, CGI1 sometimes fails
with:
Can't locate MyTag.pm in @INC...
After debugging, I found out that FindBin thinks
it's running
CGI2 instead of CGI1, and the use lib statement
doesn't go
to the proper location.
Here's my theory:
-On a previous request, CGI2 was run, and used
FindBin.
FindBin recorded all it's info for CGI2
(RealBin, Bin, Script,
and RealScript).
-Later, a request for CGI1 came, which also tried
to use
FindBin.
-Apache::Registry doesn't load the FindBin module
again.
Instead, uses the cached version from the
previous request.
FindBin doesn't refresh the RealBin variable,
and the
use lib statement now points to the CGI2
directory.
-Of course, MyLib isn't found in @INC, because
it's pointing
to the wrong directory!
Any thoughts on how to overcome this problem? I
want to
keep a soft link on CGI1.
Thanks,
Joao Fonseca
