@INC and use
I've been porting a CGI to mod_perl, and had it working. Then last night mod_perl and apache were upgraded and recompiled and it stopped working. The script parses the URL for a command name (ex: ?cmd=search) and then hands off the job to a different module (ex: search.pm). The path for this module is loaded as a library with the use command at the beginning of the module which dispatches all the different commands (use lib '/data/public/myapp/dev/lib';). The dispatcher parses the module name at during execution, not at compile time. From the mod_perl guide: (http://perl.apache.org/guide/porting.html#Reloading_Modules_and_Required_F), it looks as if the use statment is only effective during compile time, and the @INC is reset to normal, which wouldn't include this path. Am I understanding this correctly? And if I am understanding this correctly, I'm curious why it was working in the first place. Steve Cochran Dartmouth College
