That's some very interesting method calling syntax, but despite Perl's DWIMmery, it won't do what you want ;) You have to pass the allow_globals parameter to the constructor: my $c = HTML::Mason::Compiler->new( allow_globals => [ ... ] ); I suspect this code wasn't run with warnings on, because if it were there'd get a nice warning "Useless use of single ref constructor in void context". That's a bit mysterious, but at least in points you to the right line. > I am assuming here that your "session.pl" is actually a Mason component and > not a perl script.

The most likely outcome is that Mason will "compile" it to a component that just outputs the text of your script. Mason's syntax is intentionally very unlikely to pop up in random Perl code. > You might also consider passing your variables as arguments in exec() > instead of using globals.
