Hey, I've have "use strict" figured out! :) With my dev version of Apache::ASP v.18, there is a new UseStrict config setting when set will compile all scripts, including the global.asa, with "use strict" turned on automatically. Also, I have it working with the UseStrict setting such that use strict doesn't warn as usual, but die's during compilation, so that Apache::ASP will try to recompile the script until it works. Before "use strict" would silently let a script recompile after the first use strict error, somehow only warning once per error. One side affect is that any other perl "warnings" during compilation will also "die" instead, but this should be a good thing with "use strict". Also, using objects names like $Response in includes used to trigger a warning with "use strict", but no longer does. Let me know if you want my latest dev version of Apache::ASP. -- Joshua _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
