RE: init in Apache::ASP
No. But you can create subroutines and call them... Or setup an include which defines various things to be subsitiuted... -Original Message- From: Issam W.

You can't use the variable's value until you've set it. Why does it matter where it goes in the page? If you really want to separate it, use Response-Include or something. 73, Ged.

Not exactly true for Perl, is it? -- the BEGIN subroutine comes to
mind. What follows is just a speculation on my part, hopefully Joshua or
someone else who knows better will correct me if I'm wrong... As I
understand the way ASP code is parsed, everything is converted to a perl
script with patches of HTML replaced by print statements. This perl script
is then submitted to eval(). Assuming this is true, I think you should be
able to use the BEGIN subroutine to initialize your variables just like in
a normal perl script.
Hello %=$name%
%
BEGIN {
$name="something";
}
%
Of course, if you have variables that need to be initialized for every
script you run, you should probably use Script_OnStart.

You cannot hide code like Mason by putting it after the HTML, better to put it into some kind of init() subroutine. --Joshua _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
