I am glad that you ran my code and you see that it works. The manageusers.pm file should have the "our" declaration of $LoggedON_user_id and this "our" declaration should not appear anywhere else. I am not sure what your remaining problem is, but I suspect that the solution will be simple once the problem is fully understood. Again, try to make a very, very simple example of the problem. Forget the web server for the moment. Get your script to work from the command line. Your "cgi" script doesn't even need to import $LoggedON_user_id as long as it does "use manageusers ();", (which imports nothing), you can still access $manageusers::LoggedON_user_id as long as manageusers.pm has something like `our $LoggedON_user_id = "default";`	[reply] [d/l]

I had tried that first but will try gain. In manageuser Removed EXPORT of LoggedON_user_id `my $username1 = $session->param("user_id"); warn("username1 : '$username1'");` [download] Error Log manageusers Already logged on LoggedOn_user_id : '428' at /home/jalamior/www/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/lib/perl/manageusers.pm line 287. username1: '428' at /home/jalamior/www/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/lib/perl/manageusers.pm line 290. and $LoggedOn_user_id = $username1; warn("Already logged on LoggedOn_user_id : '$LoggedOn_user_id'"); And the error log Already logged on LoggedOn_user_id : '428' at /home/jalamior/www/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/lib/perl/manageusers.pm line 287 So the desired value is present in the variable in manageusers In calling unit, changed import use manageusers; Commented out qw(LoggedOn_user_id); Line 66 in calling unit. $userid_1 = $manageusers::LoggedON_user_id; warn("userid : '$userid_1' "); Error Log line 66 Sat Apr 8 06:54:25 2017 update_tables-development.cgi: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at update_tables-development.cgi line 66. userid : '' at update_tables-development.cgi line 66.

`$userid_1 = $manageusers::LoggedON_user_id;` Is that really line 66 of the cgi ? to work it needs to be `$userid_1 = $manageusers::LoggedOn_user_id;` to match the name in `manageusers.pm` Update : Try this simplest of test script alongside `update_tables-development.cgi` with your existing `manageuser` module. 1) Change the `#!/usr/bin/perl` line to whatever you use for your other cgi scripts. 2) Make sure the permissions are executable by the webserver. 3) Check the line endings are UNIX format (if that's what they need to be) `#!/usr/bin/perl # moduletest.cgi use strict; use CGI ':standard'; use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; use manageusers qw($LoggedOn_user_id); my $now = scalar localtime; print header,start_html; print qq(<b>$now</b><pre> \$manageusers::LoggedOn_user_id = $manageusers::LoggedOn_user_id \$LoggedOn_user_id = $LoggedOn_user_id </pre>); print end_html;` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]

In your original post you wrote 'I have global var in main unit:' and 'In another unit I have: use manageusers;' What do you mean by 'unit' ?. Do you have the same variable name declared in both the cgi script and the `manageuser` module something like this `# cgi script use strict; our $LoggedOn_user_id = 0; # # # use manageusers qw($LoggedOn_user_id); print $LoggedOn_user_id;` [download] `# package package manageusers; require Exporter; our @ISA = qw(Exporter); our @EXPORT_OK = qw( $LoggedOn_user_id ); our $LoggedOn_user_id = 123; 1;` [download] The code prints 0 not 123 poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]

our $LoggedOn_user_id = 0; Initializing variable. Later modified with data I want to share to other unit, Unit? Module? same difference, is it not? No on the var names being duplicated. Did multiple searches. Only one declaration with values loaded at different locations in program. This whole program is for a landlord association. Member logs on. Drill down to their status which is loaded into dataset displayed on form (using their unique id passed with $LoggedOn_user_id to the unit generating/displaying dataset. Display includes the number of tenants associated with this member. Next step is to drill down with click on that number to pull up another dataset of all tenants to display. When I manually set value in calling unit: `#$userid_1 = manageusers::LoggedOn_user_id; #$userid_1 = $manageusers::LoggedOn_user_id; #$userid_1 = $LoggedOn_user_id; $userid_1 = 428;` [download] It of course works fine. Have another global `$adminaccess = ($username1 eq "admin");` [download] To activate/inactivate menu items depending on login status using javascript in webpage. Logout succeeded form into iFrame deactivates menu through messaging. `<script type="text/javascript"> var adminflag = $manageusers::adminaccess; </script>` [download] Passing variables not new.

Unit? Module? same difference, is it not? Sorry to be so pedantic but it may be relevant to solving your problem. When you said in your post I have global var in main unit: `@EXPORT = qw( $LoggedOn_user_id $VERSION = '0.0.1'; } our $LoggedOn_user_id;` [download] do you mean that code is in the 'main' part of package `manageusers`. At the top maybe before the subroutines declaration ? poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Export and calls look the same but I keep getting: Software error: "LoggedOn_user_id" is not exported by the manageusers module Can't continue after import errors at update_tables-development.cgi line 30 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at update_tables-development.cgi line 30. Do not understand. Not this way for others. Something unique about this.	[reply]
Re^7: global var by poj (Abbot) on Apr 07, 2017 at 06:01 UTC
In a former post here Re^4: global var you had this error "$GetLoggedOnId" is not exported by the manageusers module Can't continue after import errors at update_tables-development.cgi line 30 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at update_tables-development.cgi line 30 and your @EXPORT_OK in manageusers was our @EXPORT_OK = qw( &OpenConnection &OpenSession &ProcessLoginRequest &ProcessLostDataRequest &LoginUser &GetLoggedOnId <<<<------------------- I hope you understand the cause of that error now in that `$GetLoggedOnId` and `&GetLoggedOnId` are different things. You now have the error `"LoggedOn_user_id" is not exported by the manageusers module` The questions that raises is Have you changed `$GetLoggedOnId` to `LoggedOn_user_id` and if so have you amended both the `@EXPORT_OK in manageusers` and the `use manageusers qw()` statement in `update_tables-development.cgi` ? As the error appears on line 30 perhaps you could post those first 30 lines of that script. Check the names carefully as in another post Re^6: global var you mentioned a function call `&GetLoggedOn_user_id` which is different again. poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]
Re^7: global var by Anonymous Monk on Apr 06, 2017 at 23:48 UTC
Why does your code ask "managerusers" module to exports a "LoggedOn_user_id" function?	[reply]
