H,

Thanks for the reply. Gotta admit, I'm confused =) 

Maybe the above error also stems from reloading Want::Tools, which overwrites/redeclares the EXDEV subroutine with a slightly different prototype, or you have predeclared EXDEV via:
Mmm, well I do include it in the startup.pl: 

use Want::View;
use Want::Tools;
use Want::Daily;
use Want::Directory;
...etc

[download]
...and then its also included in some of the other custom perl modules (and some .cgi scripts). The problem is, my dev server isn't currently using mod_perl, so it would be hard to take those duplicate "use" statements out of the main code, and rely on them being loaded on the startup.pl boot.

Maybe I will get the mod_perl stuff going on my dev server, and then see if I can get the errors to go away. Its a shame, as I was hoping not to use mod_perl on the dev server (as it causes a headache with caching of scripts, when you don't want to see a cached version ;)) 

Lastly, let me advise strongly against having any module below /srv/www/site.net/www/cgi-bin/ which is not a .pl script. Keep your configuration files and modules and other stuff out of cgi-bin, as a webserver misconfiguration could expose them (and include passwords or module versions or expose bugs in the modules that would be much harder to find otherwise).
Thanks for the advice. Its a bit tricky, as all those modules are part of a 3rd party system (and we've bolted out own code on). Also, they can't actually view the .pm files (only .cgi scripts will run in that folder, and all the rest would give 500 IS errors :))

Cheers

Andy
