You still need to watch out for their use; even if they're declared as global and pass "use strict" doesn't mean they won't create the subtleties related to global variables in mod_perl. I strongly advise you to read the mod_perl Guide at http://perl.apache.org/preview/modperl-docs/dst_html/docs/1.0/guide/index.html and for your problems here the "Perl Reference" and "CGI to mod_perl porting" guidelines. >local variable: my $myvar; > >I still don't know how to change this variable: > >local($long, $lat, $level); > >[error] PerlRun: 'Global symbol "$long" requires explicit package name at >/home/httpd/... You should be able to declare them as my(), except if you're doing: { local $var = 'something'; subroutine(); } and then: sub subroutine { print $var; } In that case you should probably be moving to : { my $var = 'something'; subroutine($var); } sub subroutine { my $var = shift; print $var; } Which is generally better and will work the best, without surprises.

Anyway, we're ready to help out with any questions not answered in the Guide. -- Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
