Re: Porting to mod

Just added the following to my scripts before the require():

use strict;
use lib qw(.);
[download]

And to global.pl:

package Northlands::Global;

And restarted Apache but I still get Internal Server Errors. Am I doing things right here?

I just removed `use strict;` and left `package Northlands::Global;` on global.pl. By using `&Northlands::Global::somesub();` I can now call my subroutines from another script. However, this isn't working with $dbh for the DB connection, as it returns "Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value". - Ralph.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ok, getting better now. By calling $Northlands::Global::dbh->prepare() it's working now. However, when I do something such as &Northlands::Global::somesub("param","param");, global.pl isn't receiving the parameters when I read them with @_;. Any ideas? Thanks a lot :-) Ralph	[reply]

That should work fine. Are you sure that reading @_ is the problem? By the way, we don't use the "&" before subroutine calls anymore, except in special circumstances. See the perlsub man page.	[reply]

Hi, yup, I was actually passing along the parameter incorrectly. Forgot to include the $Northlands::Global::varname, it's working perfect now :-) Thanks a lot for all of your help! Ralph	[reply]
