Hi all... I have been really stumped with a problem that I am having. I am using Apache 2.0.46 with mod_perl 1.99_09 installed as DSO. I have been able to utilize different libraries from my main script. However, I started to try to utilize a package that I built which requires a library that the main script also requires I get undefined function calls.

main script require block: 
BEGIN {
    use lib "/apache/wiredata/cgi-bin/mod_perl/control_center/library/
+";
    use lib "/srccode/wiredata_lib/";
    use lib "/apache/wiredata/cgi-bin/mod_perl/Viewer";

    use CGI ();
    use Session ();
    use IO::ScalarArray ();
    use strict;
    use Apache::DBI ();
    use ReportGenerator();

    require "wiredata_mysql_lib.pl"; # library in question
    require "db_ops.pl";
    require "menuDisplay.pl";
    require "table_browser.pl";
    require "OptionDisplay.pl";
    require "Viewer.pl";
}

Package being used require block: 
BEGIN {
    use strict;
    use Data::Dumper;
    use Tie::IxHash;
    use Record;
    use lib qw(/apache/wiredata_lib);
    require "report_gen_lib.pl";
    require "wiredata_mysql_lib.pl";  # library in question
}

package ReportGenerator;

I have tried all kinds of combinations to try to remove the conflicts. I have been getting the conflicts on both sides. Once I get the ReportGenerator package to stop complaining, the main script then has the same error. I am completely stumped. I have inspected the @INC and %INC to determine if the path and file occurs in both. I have noticed that I am getting a little inconsistency in the paths in @INC.
If anyone can shed some light on this, maybe I will changed my mind about dropping the mod_perl...however, I am looking to utilize the speed of mod_perl. Thats my driving force for using it...otherwise, I have been just hitting all kind of problems.
Or if this has been covered previously...which i didn't seem to find...please point me to that article.

Thanks
Matt
