++ perrin, you where spot on. I'm using Apache::Request and so even when I declare a variable that would normally still be in the same scope as the sub I get these problems.
I think a package of constants sounds like the best solution so I'll start on that.
I've been avoiding OO until I get a little more comfortable with perl (seeing as this is my first project I've written).
Comment on Re: Re: Thoughts on variable sharing in mod_perl
in your apache/perl startup file (the one you call from httpd.conf. You do have such a file right???) you write use Config; And your config will be avail to all script in $Config::config.... Or you could do something similar with constants...
