Could someone tell me what is going on or give me some directions? Since your script is compiled under mod_perl ahead of time, and things like working directory are shared amongst all processes, you cannot assume that the relative path will be rooted from the script location directory under mp. You need to use fully qualified pathnames (config parameters that are passed into your script or read in are a good way to work around this issue). I heard rumours that MP2 might have a better solution by the time it goes final next year, but that was just a rumour at this stage. Maybe Stas can illuminate the matter more. The best solution is to use a project specific namespace, rather than ../../whatever.pm. It's all explained at: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#_INC_and_mod_perl and the sections that follow. __ 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
Re: Relative path problem
Stas: Are you talking about registry scripts or handlers? Because the former do change into the script's dir. CGI script using ModPerl::Registry and mp2. And that doesn't seem to workat least not using the HTML::Template module, which under mp2 does not find the requested template, which is located in the same directory as the script. It only finds it if I specify a fully qualified file/path. Any ideas why? In any case please move the discussion to the list. Copied to list per your request.

Indeed, currently ModPerl::Registry and friends (mod_perl 2.0) don't chdir() to the script's dir, because under threads chdir() affects all threads. The original poster was talking about mod_perl 1.0. __ 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

Relative path problem
I installed the Win32 mod_perl 1.0 in Windows XP Professional just to see how it works. This distribution contains Perl 5.6.1 and Apache_1.3.27, together with mod_perl-1.27. In my index.pl, I call another perl file using a reletive path, like ../lib/work.pm. But I found this file cannot be found.
