I'm clearly not understanding something here. I'm trying to use $self-param() the
same way it's used in the docs. The print statement in setup prints mydbh instead
of the DBI reference. If I uncomment the $dog lines, it prints the DBI reference
fine.
I'm in WinXP with ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 and CGI::Application 2.4. It behaves
identically if I run it through IIS or from the command line.
Thanks for any help and congrats on a very cool and well-designed module. I'm going
to scour the mailing list when I get a chance.
Here's a stripped version of my app module:
#
package MyApp;
use base 'CGI::Application';
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use DBI;
use HTML::Template;
sub setup {
my $self = shift;
$self-start_mode('page1');
$self-run_modes(
'page1' = 'page1'
);
$self-param('mydbh' = DBI-connect('dbi:ODBC:TestDatabase'));
print $self-param('mydbh') . \n\n;
# my $dog = DBI-connect('dbi:ODBC:TestDatabase');
# print $dog;
}
sub page1 {
my $self = shift;
my $dbh = $self-param('mydbh');
my $template = HTML::Template-new(filename = 'page1.tmpl');
my $pos_ref = $dbh-selectcol_arrayref(select Position from Positions);
# do other stuff
return $template-output;
}
1;
#
and here's my instance script:
#
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use MyApp;
my $myapp = MyApp-new();
$myapp-run();
#
