Hi Alicia The handling of the current working directory has changed from mod_perl 1 to mod_perl 2.
In mod_perl1, mod perl registry used to chdir into the script's directory. This no longer happens as mod_perl2 has to support threads, and chdir is not thread safe - it would affect all other threads. Instead, the safest way to work around it is a) specify the absolute path to perl_functions.pl b) add the directory where perl_functions.pl lives into @INC by doing this in your startup.pl file: use lib qw(/path/to/perl_functions/dir/); Clint On Mon, 2007-05-28 at 11:55 +0200, Alicia Amadoz wrote: > Hi, > > I have a problem loading a perl file under mode_perl2.
