It doesn't actually have much to do with mod_perl. It's just a coding mistake, tripping over perl's scoping rules. It's still a mistake when writing for CGI, but you wouldn't see it because the interpreter exits after every request. PHP has unusual scoping rules. In order to access a variable declared in a higher scope in PHP, you have to make the variable global. If you were to use a global variable in perl, that would also avoid the closure issue. Glad to hear you fixed the problem. - Perrin -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
