Stupid newbie question: where is .?
So, I'm using mod_perl as installed via RPMS on RedHat 8.0, and can't believe that an hour of hunting hasn't netted an answer to this apparently simple problem. Perl scripts seem not to have . set to ~user/public_html, as use() and require() fail on files which are in the same directory as the CGI script. What have I missed? The error message states that . is in @INC. To be specific, I've enabled mod_perl for ~user's files like this: Directory /home/user/public_html Options +Includes +ExecCGI AddHandler perl-script .pl PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry::handler PerlOptions +ParseHeaders /Directory -- Stephen Walton, Professor, Dept. of Physics Astronomy, Cal State Northridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here is why: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/coding/coding.html#Threads_Coding_Issues_under_mod_perl Various workarounds were discussed, but none were implemented so far. By the time mod_perl 2.0 is released we should sort it out. For now use mod_perl 1.0 if that's an issue to you. Of course you are more than welcome to sort this problem out and submit a patch for 2.0. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
