Re^2: 'use' falls out of scope at runtime

no, it falls out... the module is not available.

Thu Apr 23 14:20:57 2009 error client xxxx Undefined subroutine &plugin23::test called at ..

the only way to keep it in enviroment is to trigger the function calling 'use' for each run

use called a second time doesn't reload the module, since it checks `%INC` (see perlvar) and, if the module is already in that hash, the underlying require just returns `1`, so no loading. You would have to `undef $INC{$module}` for the use to reload the module. Keep in mind that in `%INC` the key for `Some::Module` is `Some/Module.pm`. Aa Corion said, you could use Apache::Reload for those packages; if you have changing packages where methods/functions are organized into files, you could use AutoReloader.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
