mod_perl tries to load it at request time. There are two reasons why this is bad. The first is that it doesn't allow for copy-on-write shared memory. You want to load it before the fork, and this doesn't do that. The second is that it doesn't know about the method prototyping and thus your handler is not called as a method. So, load the module first. You can do it in any number of ways (startup.pl is common). I think this will fix your 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
