mod_perl and inheritance

2002-07-09 Thread PURMONEN, Joni
Hello all, I just moved my perfectly functioning script from normal CGI area to mod_perl area and the whole thing stopped working. This is the first time when I am using multiple classes and inheritance in mod_perl and it seems like the inheritance is the culprit. I tried to search the web for

Need to see the script and the error messages. Is Apache::Registry the handler? Yes it is. The error messages just complain about not being able to locate a given method, which should be inherited (and is inherited if I move the script to CGI area). the script runs to couple thousand lines,

I don't think you need to do regex here. I don't have a perl machine here right now so I can just give you pointers: use split to get the separate words into strings, then go trough those strings and do ucfirst $string; this will return you the string with first letter uppercased and put them

RE: I need to create a module - I think - and don't know how

2001-07-20 Thread PURMONEN, Joni
using a separate module is a good idea in this kind of situation. Put your subroutine to a separate file with the following format: package packagename; sub blaa { code...code...code... } 1; # So that the module will return a true value __END__ Save this as packagename.pm and that's it.
