hi
i have a problem with initializing perl data structures from the db. i
have an init routine that does all kinds of stuff and is called from
startup.pl. one of the things i wanted it to do was to grab some stuff
from the db and populate a hash with it.
I do stuff like that in modules that are use-d in my startup.pl. They
have code in BEGIN blocks, or just the body of the module outside of
subroutines, and set up hashes that can be reached by a class method
call. Does that not work in your case?
