Scope Question

[Christopher H. Laco]

Sometimes I think too hard about this I swear. :-)




Here's one of the modules:
http://search.cpan.org/src/CLACO/Handel-0.17_08/lib/AxKit/XSP/Handel/Cart.pm

In a nutshell, it's basically:

package MyMod;
{
  my @context;
  sub dosomething {
    push @context;
    #...do other stuff..
  };
};
1;







package MyMod;
{
  my @context;
  sub dosomething {
    push @context;
    #...do other stuff..
  };
  sub pushcontext {
    push @context, shift;
  };
};
1;

package MyMod2;
{
  my @context;
  sub dosomething {
    push @context;
    #...do other stuff..
    MyMod::poshcontext('foo');
  };
};
1;



Thanks for suffering though this...

Just a mini backgrounder...I have two AxKit Taglibs that run under AxKit/mod_perl. Up till now, they've been seperate in terms of usage. I now need to have one modify a value of the other. This has brought me to wonder if what I've done is going to cause me grief. I'm assuming that each tome dosomething() changes @contect, it's only changing @contect for that MP child process. SInce I don't do a lot of MP development, I haven't live through all of the traps involved yet. :-) Now, I need to have another module used in that same request, modify the context of the first... Is that safe across requests? I'm assuming that MyMod is change MyMod2 in the same request/child process? FOr that matter, what is the lifetime of my @context in that situation?
