RE: [OT?] Win32 permissions puzzler
Greetings. I am afraid this is rapidly becoming less than relevant, however.. -Original Message- From: Stas Bekman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [...] You have to declare variables as globals before using them. Agreed Even the imported ones. That's a pure perl issue. Please proceed to the perl lists/groups/monks for further discussion. This is a bit of a surprise the following, in fact, runs just fine: --Foo.pm-- package Foo; use strict; use warnings; require Exporter; our @ISA = qw(Exporter); our @EXPORT_OK = ( qw( $foo ) ); our @EXPORT = qw(); our $VERSION = '0.01'; our $foo=1; 1; --usefoo.pl use strict; use warnings; use Foo qw($foo); print foo is $foo\n; $ perl usefoo.pl foo is 1 This is according to my instinct - and practice: I have been using this idiom, under strict, for the longest time and the interpreter has never raised an eyebrow about it. BTW, this also works with @IMPORT (not only with @IMPORT_OK). I cannot give you a doc pointer that explicitely says that it must be so (or why), though. Cheers, alf

BTW, this also works with @IMPORT (not only with @IMPORT_OK). I cannot give you a doc pointer that explicitely says that it must be so (or why), though. It works because Exporter aliases variables in the exporting package to the importing one and probably adds some black magic ;) However I thought that you may have hit the problem described here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/perl_reference/perl_reference.html#toc_Using_Exporter_pm_to_Share_Global_Variables when the same variable is to be shared by several packages. But I guess that wasn't the case. Can you reduce the code to a generic case so it can be reproduced at will? Does it behave the same with and without mod_perl? __ 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

Not sure I am following you here. $foo is in the @EXPORT_OK list of module
Bar, which is, in turn,an Exporter. It is my understanding that this should
work (as it does after
the impersonated user has been given Admin powers).
Cheers,

You have to declare variables as globals before using them. Even the imported
ones. That's a pure perl issue. Please proceed to the perl lists/groups/monks
