I don't know if this will help. I know very litlle about mod perl, but most
of the people on this list don't seem to answer questions from beginners.
I think you might try adding:
use subs qw(main);
in the top of your script.
or instead of
main() use &main()
There are situations where you can't use main() without the & and I think it
has to do with predeclaring the sub which use subs will remedy. let me know
if this helps.
If that doesn't work, you will probably need to make the lib a package and
import it into your fetch.pl program.
Kindof new to that as well and havn't experimented much with it.
Does anyone know of a news group that answers mod perl questions?
