I guess that just as long as the script is never actually executed under Apache::Registry, and if the only place it's ever do'd from is the plain library, then this is the best solution. :) Presumably if I needed to execute blah.pl from many different libraries as well as actually embed it using <!--#perl sub="Apache::Include" -->, this wouldn't be so great as each instance of it would be compiled separately as part of that particular block of code, thus bloating the apache process horribly. As it happens, though, I think I can get away with only ever executing it from one particular place. :) thanks, Matthew.
