So with the incorrect lib, it was loading Apache::Symbol where 'use Symbol' was found? Thanks!

Or > will everything be able to know which to use? eh? why in the world you are trying to do that? there is no /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/aix/Apache, there is /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/aix. Of course you will have problems when you load the wrong package. It's Apache::Symbol, not Symbol in the dir Apache/. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
