OK folks, here's a stumper. Anyone here have any idea why __these__ errors:

"my" variable $title masks earlier declaration in same statement at t/
+dpr_functions.t line 298.
"my" variable $moreinfo masks earlier declaration in same statement at
+ t/dpr_functions.t line 298.
"my" variable $contacts masks earlier declaration in same scope at t/d
+pr_functions.t line 300.
"my" variable $title masks earlier declaration in same scope at t/dpr_
+functions.t line 300.
  etc., . . .

gets returned for these lines:

298  print STDERR "$title\n$moreinfo\n";

300  return($releasedate,$contacts,$title,$subtitle,$body,$moreinfo);

In the past, I've only seen this error when I try to re-initialize a variable I've already seen in the same block. What is this about? -- Hugh

UPDATE wazooks: You may be on to something there. Modperl is installed here. I bypassed the errors, by returning a hash instead of an array. Not sure what that was about, but am grateful that TIMTOWTDI. Kept me moving.
