Great! That worked. I had to modify my code to get rid of the <%shared>
block where I declared my variable and add "PerlSetVar MasonAllowGlobals
$dbh" to apache.conf
I have still two questions:
1. Can I use this "PerlSetVar MasonAllowGlobals $dbh" to set variables I
only want shared per page request and then be destroyed? I want to set my
$auth ( CGI::Session::Auth::DBI ) and $session ( CGI::Session::DBI )in the
autohandler. Obviously I don't want anyone sharing $session or $auth. I
though <%shared> would be perfect for those variables, but it looks like I
can't even get $dbh to work in <%shared>.
2. When <%shared> was removed from my code and "PerlSetVar
MasonAllowGlobals $dbh" was added to apache.conf, my code worked. How would
you properly use <%shared> to set up the $dbh?
New working code:
<%init>
use DBI;
my $db = "db";
my $user = "user";
my $password = "password";
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:PgPP:dbname=$db","$user","$password");
</%init>

Subject: Re: [Mason] Setting up shared $dbh in autohandler not working.
Have you declared $dbh as a Mason global?
Under Apache you'd add
PerlSetVar MasonAllowGlobals $dbh
(or PerlAddVar, as your needs may be)
to the appropriate configuration file.
