Hi again:

It is not closing off with a brace where a paren is required. The Brace is closing the Begin The paren is closing this: our @EXPORT_OK = qw(

BEGIN {
    use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT);
    use DBI;

#    $ENV{DBI_TRACE}=1;
#    $ENV{PERL_DBI_DEBUG}=1;

    require Exporter;

    @ISA = qw(Exporter);

    # exported functions
    our @EXPORT_OK = qw(
  &OpenConnection
  &OpenSession
  &ProcessLoginRequest
    &ProcessLostDataRequest
    &LoginUser
    &decodeEncryptedPassName
    &UpdateUserData
    &GetUserLostData
    &LogoutUser
    &GetUserSessionCookie
  &CheckForAuthorizedUser
  &Expires
  $attempts
  $adminaccess
  $LoggedOn_user_id  <<<<<<----------------------
  &Now
    &CheckValidLoginChar
    &CheckValidEmailChar
    &print_md5_javascript);

    $VERSION = '0.0.1';
}

I also changed $LoggedOn_user_id to a function call &GetLoggedOn_user_id to deliver the number to the other module and it still does not work.

And yes it compiles then and now.

Your comments and those of some others are very discouraging to one who is having fun and enjoying this resurrection. A little tolerance is in order I think.

I realize there is much stuff here that is old and discouraged but it still works.
