thanks.

Well, TAZ.pl is called in the middle of Dispatcher.cgi.pl. So, basically, when TAZ.pl is running so is Dispatcher. Once, TAZ.pl exits, it goes back and finishes the rest of the Dispatcher code. Now, saying that, wouldn't the variables still be around ?

    Thanks to a short CB exchange I now see what you have in mind. You're using a system call to execute TAZ.pl from within Dispatcher.cgi.pl.

    So yes, the variables still exist, but unfortunately you can't access them from within 

    TAZ.pl</ocde> since both scripts are running in their own Perl interpr
+eter and don't share anything.</p>

<p>The best thing to do I guess is to transform <code>TAZ.pl

    [download]
    into a function and call that from within Dispatcher.cgi.pl by directly including it in that file. The advantage is that you can make $project et al. parameters of that function which is much cleaner.

    You can also put that function into a module and load it with use.

    Hope this helps, -gjb-
