:-( It was a stupid bug in my code. Sorry to send you on a goose chase.
A for-loop statement in the previous subroutine was constructed like so:
for (my $i=$item_count+1; $i <=4, $i++) {
So, when it got to the next subroutine, it thought I was including the
"shift @_" in the "my" statement.
I think the reason the message stopped when I took it out of the [! !] was
that was when I was dealing with the database connect problem. I just
caused the database connect problem to happen before the above syntax
problem. :-(
Sorry again.

This really sounds strange. There soundn't be a difference where you use
your module. The only thing that I can imagine at the moment, is if you
include the file, via the Execute import parameter, or if you use it
together with EmbperlObject, do you ? The [! !] will be executed when the
import happens and the [- -] not (that was different in 1.2.x)
Does the cart_support file has it's own package ?
Gerald
P.S. use is a compile time statement, so it is executed at the same time in
both cases and when the code is executed Perl doesn't do anything with the
use (even not check if the module is already there, as I wrote in my last
mail)
