Apache::ASP #include file, relative filenames

Did it not work for you for some reason? It does not work in this kind of situation: /series/slayers/lina/index.inc does !--#include file="../index.inc"-- /series/slayers/index.inc does !--#include file="../index.inc"-- If I access http://.../series/slayers/lina/index.inc, then it will do the first include correctly. But in the second include, it resolves the path name relative to /series/slayers/lina/ instead of /series/slayers/, so it ends up including /series/slayers/index.inc instead of /series/index.inc. I worked around this by doing "PerlSetVar IncludesDir /home/goamembers/www" (which is my DOCUMENT_ROOT), and then using includes such as: !--#include file="/series/slayers/index.inc"-- !--#include file="/series/slayers/lina/index.inc"-- -Philip Mak ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

It does not work in this kind of situation:
/series/slayers/lina/index.inc does !--#include file="../index.inc"--
/series/slayers/index.inc does !--#include file="../index.inc"--
I see, yes this would not have worked, because Apache::ASP
does a chdir() to whereever the script is. So what you could
do might be to have a header.inc which does something like...
%
use File::Basename;
my $dirname = dirname($0);
$dirname =~ s|^$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/?||;
my $up = '';
for(split(/\//, $dirname)) {
$up .= '../';
my $include = $up.'index.inc';
if(-e $include) {
$Response-Include($include);
}
}
%
