Thanks loads for everyone's help on this, it is all starting to make sense. However I'm still having a bit of trouble, (J�rg I read your posting on Apache::AxKit::Language::XSP::SimpleTaglib seeing as I am yet to get TaglibHelper to work would you recommend I give the new mod a try?)
I changed my taglib to show; $NS = 'http://www.mytest.com/xsp/taglib/'; Correspondingly I changed my xsp page, (taglib.xml), to reference the taglib as suggested; <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="." type="application/x-xsp"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="taglib.xsl" type="text/xsl"?> <xsp:page xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core"; xmlns:mylib="http://www.mytest.com/xsp/taglib/"; language="Perl"> <greeting><mylib:hello key='alpha' /></greeting> </xsp:page> The taglib is within a directory on the Perl @INC path, inside the subdirectory /freeloader as such taglib.pm is defined; package freeloader::taglib; Lastly my httpd.conf references the tag lib with, (bit unsure about this bit); AxAddXSPTaglib freeloader::taglib When I try and view the page (taglib.xml), I get the following error in my error_log; [Fri Feb 22 11:12:49 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) AxKit/1.5 mod_perl/1.26 configured -- resuming normal operations [Fri Feb 22 11:12:49 2002] [notice] Accept mutex: fcntl (Default: fcntl) [Fri Feb 22 11:12:57 2002] [error] [client 192.168.11.3] [AxKit] [Error] Can't locate object method "register" via package "freeloader::taglib " (perhaps you forgot to load "freeloader::taglib"?) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/Apache/AxKit/Language/XSP. pm line 15 3. Obviously I've got some more reading to do on the mod_perl front!!
