Re: Modules Problem

You need to setup exports in your Rules1 package.

Take a look at Exporter. (perldoc Exporter)

OR, call the function with its fully qualified package nameTim Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Just to be clear, mod_perl has no problem with subroutines inside of the
main program.  Apache::Registry has issues with it but only if you are
using lexically scoped variables and declaring them outside of your subs
rather than passing all parameters to the subs.

In other words, don't do this with Apache::Registry:

my $cgi = CGI-new();

foo();

sub foo {
my $input = $cgi-param('input');
}

That breaks because $cgi is not passed to foo(), so it becomes a closure
and will always be the same as it was the first time the script was run.

 Error:
 
 Undefined subroutine main::CISCHeader called at /var/www/perl/test.pl line 
 5.
 
 Here the Module Located in the ModPerl Directory under the a directory 
 listed int eh @inc:
 
 package ModPerl::Rules1;
 
 sub CISCHeader {
print Content-type: text/plain\n\n;
print mod_perl rules!\n;
return 1;
 }
 1;
 
 The Script:
 
 #!/usr/bin/perl -w
 use strict;
 use ModPerl::Rules1;
 
 CISCHeader();

Your module doesn't export the CISCHeader sub, so you have to call it
with the full name: ModPerl::Rules1::CISCHeader().  If this doesn't make
sense to you, you should read the perlmod man page that explains how
modules and packages work.
