Re: Simple Module Tutorial

Great summary of module basics!

Here's a little code I came up with to add my module location to @INC (in a cgi environment) by dynamically determining the document root for the script. It works on the remote apache server and when testing locally in windows. It might be of some interest:

BEGIN {

  # get doc root from %ENV
  # implicitly declare file root path if %ENV not fount
  my $doc_root = $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT} || 
    'C:/Users/User/Documents/website/sites/mysite';

  # change \ to /
  $doc_root =~ s/\\/\//g;

  # add module folder location
  $doc_root .= "/cgi-bin/cms/";

  # add module location to @INC
  push(@INC,$doc_root);

}

This tutorial is great. The only problem is, that I get the following result, if I comment out all the cases: !rekcaH~lreP~rehtonA~tsuJ JUST~ANOTHER~PERL~HACKER! !rekcaH~lreP~rehtonA~tsuJ JUST~ANOTHER~PERL~HACKER! !rekcaH~lreP~rehtonA~tsuJ JUST~ANOTHER~PERL~HACKER! !rekcaH~lreP~rehtonA~tsuJ JUST~ANOTHER~PERL~HACKER! Shouldn't there be some error messages or warnings?	[reply]
