I think I know what you are asking. What you want to do is take the Chart::Pie module, and put it in your directory with the script using it. It will be called Pie.pm. Then the thing you need to do, is at the top of the Pie.pm file, change the line "package Chart::Pie" to "package Pie". Then in your script, put `use lib '.'; use Pie;` [download] I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply] [d/l]

I don't know what your Problem is exactly, but it sounds like you've lost control of your library paths. If this is right: Look out for 'perldoc perlrun', 'perldoc -f use', 'perldoc lib', and so on. If I'm false, I'm sorry. hth,phay Ordinary morality is for ordinary people. -- Aleister Crowley	[reply]

My hosting server which I have no control of, could not read when I upload the whole folder. But if I put a single file it has no problem. If I put the Pie.pm in Chart folder the @inc wouldn't find it. But if I put Pie.pm without the folder it detect it but as it is originally Chart::Pie, they must be some broken link, so please anyone help me fix this. This output is what I get Can't locate object method "gif" via package "Pie" at.... I need to show my client tommorow, so I need to find a quick fix. Thanks	[reply]

If you give some code it might help. Except that: `use Pie; # 'uses' Pie.pm, the file Pie->gif; # uses package Pie, method gif, defined by "package" # try use Pie; Chart::Pie->gif()` [download] Or give some more code. Ordinary morality is for ordinary people. -- Aleister Crowley	[reply] [d/l]

You could try putting the PM in the 'Apple', 'Cherry' or 'Key Lime' folders to see if that helps. *"Look, Shiny Things!"* is not a better business strategy than compatibility and reuse.	[reply]
