Re: importing functions with "PerlModule" Apache directive

This is really not what PerlModule is for, but depending on how your script is structured, it should be doable.

Find your modules directory - something like:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2 (or whatever Perl version you're using)

And then create a file called ApacheAutoload.pm. In that file, include:

package main;  # this is important
use DBI;
use CGI qw(:cgi -compile -utf8);
# ... and so on
[download]

Then in your Apache config file, do this:

PerlModule ApacheAutoload
[download]

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

`package main; # this is important` [download] important to add to any Registry scripts as well :) otherwise __PACKAGE__ is ModPerl::ROOT::ModPerl::Registry::_path_to_file	[reply] [d/l]

In your opinion is it more cleaner to use this method or the PerlPostConfigRequire directive?	[reply]

I'd be wanting to take a long, hot shower after either method. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]

Got it :) I'll throw away all the stuff in apache.conf except `PerlTaintCheck On` and stick with use whatever in every script :) Thank you very much for advices.	[reply] [d/l]
