in reply to Re^5: $cgi->param() values are not updated instantly when read in a subroutine
in thread $cgi->param() values are not updated instantly when read in a subroutine

I'm currently on the way, so I don't have all data available. However, I had a peek at the logs and I read something about $cgi (and maybe others) that it will not stay shared or so. I think its the thing described here: http://www.webreference.com/programming/perl/subroutines/2.html (at the end of "Private Variables and Nested Subroutines"). I'll have a look at it tomorrow. Thank you for your help so far.

    You can't use my outside of subs in an Apache::Registry script. Refer to the mod_perl Guide. Possible solutions: 

    sub foo {
   my ($cgi, ...) = @_;
   ...
   $cgi->...
   ...
}

sub main {
   my $cgi = ...;
   foo($cgi, ...);
}

main();

    [download]
    or 
    our $foo;

sub foo {
   my (...) = @_;
   ...
   $cgi->...
   ...
}

sub main {
   local $cgi = ...;
   foo(...);
}

main();
