Brett; The script, and variables, are being cached. Declaring the variables in the smallest possible scope with "my" should do the trick.
The reason that you sometimes see only 5 is that you are hitting an apache child which has not been hit before. Reading this will definitely be helpful... http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html -josh -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Brett.Gillett@;tsx.ca] Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 4:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DBI question Hiya everyone, I am new to mod_perl and have a question about generating dynamic webpages from a mysql database. I have a script that queries a IDS database and generates results such as Top 5 Signatures, etc. The problem is when I pass the results to the web interface it seems to be looping. What I mean is that when I refresh the page, instead of getting the Top 5 - i get the top 10, then 15....etc. I am using HTML::Template to generate my HTML files, and I have two servers running, one for static docs, one for mod_perl stuff, and I create me DB connections persistently in my startup.pl file. It seems if you wait long enough, you only get 5 results for some of the queries others I get X5.... Anyone seen this behaviour before?? Suggestions would be appreciated.
