This works in the handler function. There, I discovered, the ENV var is
correctly set too!. Outside this function it is not.
I try to rebuild the following handler-script.
package Foo::Bar;
use all:kinds:of:libs
my %sites = (
site1 => {
path = $ENV{PATH} # <-- USE OF ENV VAR HERE
},
siteN => {
}
);
my %ah;
foreach my $site ($keys %sites) {
$ah{$site} = HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler->new(
do things with above paths...
);
}
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
...
my $site = $r->dir_config('mason_site') || '';
$ah{$site}->prepare_request($r$);
...
}
As you can see I want to use the ENV vars in the global scope. Is this
possible?
