The "$NS" variable must be set to the same value that you want to use as the URL in your namespace declaration. For example, in your taglib Perl Module set: $NS = "http://mysite.com/my/taglib";; Then, in your XSP page, you must reference that taglib with a namespace in the "xsp:page" tag. For example, <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsp:page xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core"; xmlns:mylib="http://mysite.com/my/taglib"; language="Perl"> <page> <!-- this would call the function "my_function" in your new taglib <mylib:my_function key='alpha' /> </page> </xsp:page> Again, just make certain that the "$NS" variable in your .PM file matches the "xmlns" namespace value in your "<xsp:page>" tag. > My other question, (and probably the root of my problem), is what do I call > the taglib in terms of type, (.xsl or .pm?), if its .pm I assume it has to > be within a directory on my @INC path and referenced by the XML in a > different way than I give above? Yes, the .PM file must be included in your @INC Path. Just include a section at the top of your httpd.conf for your mod_perl server: <perl> use lib "/my/new/lib/path"; </perl> Finally, make sure you don't forget to include the "AxAddXSPTaglib" directive in your "httpd.conf". Without loading the taglib into AxKit there is no way that the value of "$NS" can be looked up and the taglib can be matched to the XSP page.
