Have you tried to see if it works without the trailing () ? This explicitly tells Perl not to call Fcntl->import(). In non-buggy Perls, a later instance of "use Fcntl" without the empty list of params will cause import() to be called nevertheless, but it could be that a in earlier Perls, or perhaps due to a bad interaction with mod_perl, this is not the case in your situation. -- _______________________________________________________________________ Robin Berjon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "It's better to be quotable than to be honest." -- Tom Stoppard
