in thread global var

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.

    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.

    Why does your code ask "managerusers" module to exports a "LoggedOn_user_id" function?

[reply]

      Answer his and one above.

      Manageusers is the "main" unit in the sense that everything get funneled back to that unit for accessing database tables and all the login /logout functions. I consider it the "main" unit to which manage_users.cgi interfaces between thr web pages and the guts of the program.

      The loggedonuser the ID of the user far accessing various other pieces of data such a database records "owned" by the user.

      The change from LoggedOn_user_id to GetLoggedOn... and back again was a result of trying an exported function result to pass the id vs a scalar variable. Neither worked.

      Other functions/.scalars are exported just fine. Not this one!!!

        ...Other functions/.scalars are exported just fine. Not this one!!!

        Then it shouldn't be too hard to duplicate that error in 20 lines, and post it here, right?
