Re: dynamic loading of modules

You're assigning $mod1 a value, but doing so outside of the BEGIN{} block. So any code inside the BEGIN{} block doesn't know about $mod1's value. Example:

$testvar = "Hello world!\n";

BEGIN{
    print $testvar;
}
[download]

The output will be...

Use of uninitialized value in print at mytest.pl line 4.

Put your assignment into the BEGIN block. `package SearchMachine; BEGIN { $mod1 = "/path/Mysearch.pm"; require qq($mod1); } 1;` [download] or put it into a `BEGIN` block of it's own: `package SearchMachine; BEGIN { $mod1 = "/path/Mysearch.pm"; } BEGIN { require qq($mod1); } 1;` [download] All `BEGIN` blocks are executed first, in order, before any other code is even compiled. See perlmod, section BEGIN, CHECK, INIT and END. And, for the record, it's spelled dynamic loading ;-) --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.
