In module require configuration file

[Wang Xingyu 王兴宇 [上海]]

Hi all:

       In mod-perl,my module (mymodule.pm) will read config var from a
file ( require conf.pm).I put the require in my new() function.
       In one instance,they will work well.
       But ,I will run two or more instance (the two conf.pm is
different.),the mymodule.pm will have error.Because it  require conf.pm
and maybe get other conf.pm.
        I am test false in redhat 7,the apache is 1.3.14 and mod-perl is
1.24. And re-compile apache 1.3.20 and mod-perl 1.25,and test false
also.

       But I am test in Mandrake 8 ,the apache is 1.3.19 and mod-perl is
1.25.The two instance has  worked!

       I wonder,why redhat un-support two instance and Mandrake is well?

       Thanks and sorry for my english.


The sample code:

=========================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl
# mymodule.pm

Package mymodule;

sub new
{
my $type = shift;
my $self = {};
require "./conf.pm";
bless $self,$type;
}

=========================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl
# conf.pm
# configuration file one
package conf;
use strict;
use vars qw($conf);

# defined configure variable
$conf =
    {
    # web name.
    'web_name' => 'foo.com',
     }



========================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl
# conf.pm
# configuration file two
package conf;
use strict;
use vars qw($conf);

# defined configure variable
$conf =
    {
    # web name.
    'web_name' => 'foo.com',
     }

=========================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl
# mycgi.pl
use mymodule;
my $m = mymodule->new();
print $conf::conf->{'web_name'};
