I am very doubtful if running a mod_perl script from the commandline would make any sense... There is no Apache:: in that context to name something. You could do something tacky with Apache::FakeRequest, but it's far better to write a proper, not web-tuned, script to do the chore. Or use GET from the commandline with the uri behind it. This makes it a proper request to your webserver, issued from the command- line (or crontab in this case). --Frank
