A ghost in the machine?

Hi to everyone! I'm trying to find out if I'm passing objects properly under mod_perl because something is not working as I expect. index.pl use MyConfig; my $vars = { config => &cfg }; MyConfig.pm ### package MyConfig; use strict; use Exporter; use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT %CF

RE: A ghost in the machine?

Global? There's no need to use a global here. You only ever reference %CFG *in* the package... so just make it package scoped - it'll act like a static variable and persist. (scope it with 'my' and remove it from the export) You can always get the value you want with a call to MyConfig::cfg

Re: A ghost in the machine?

True, good point. I cleaned up my code and changed some things around and I still have the same problem: index.pl use MyConfig; use ClientConf; use MyUser; my $vars = { config => &cfg }; MyConfig.pm ### package MyConfig; use strict; use Exporter; use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT);

Re: A ghost in the machine?

Ok now I'm really boggled... If I use: my $vars = { config => &cfg() }; instead of: my $vars = { config => &cfg }; Then it works! So what's the difference between &cfg and &cfg() when it comes to mod_perl, or at least ModPerl::Registry? Thank-you all... Tosh Tosh Cooey wrote: True, good

Hi Tosh, The function sigil ("&") is an archaic left over from before perl5. Calling a function as "&cfg" is the same as saying "&cfg(@_)" and that implicit "@_" was probably the source of your problem. A bit more information can be found here: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?subr

I don't use them, but in a startup.pl you would be in a different package. - Perrin On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 8:59 PM, Boysenberry Payne wrote: > Do you know if the scope of Perl Sections are the same as when using a > startup.pl? > > -bop > > On Jan 13, 2010, at 2:15 PM, Perrin Harkins wrote: >

Thanks Perrin, Long story short, I'm in the process of moving to another machine. I wanted to ask you though, is there any modules I should stay away from loading in startup.pl? Should DBI and DBD be loaded within each script and not within startup? I've always been under the impression that

Ha ha! The ghost is me, I'm an archaic leftover! I did say I been in this for 15 years ;) Well Gang, we solved the smaller @_ mystery but not the larger "different behaviour under mod_perl" mystery. I have my bets on it being Old Man Jenkins trying to scare everybody away by wearing a costu

how to modify post data before $r->internal_redirect

we know apache takes all post form data to sub-request when we do internal redirect, but I will modify some param value and then pass the new value to subrequest, is it possible? -- *陈建春|ChenJianchun* 傲游Web应用部 E-mail: chen...@maxthon.net *Maxthon^? * --每个人的互联网中心! 上网
