Weird perl error on new server. 1

[LucL]

I just got a new server and everytime I run a script that ran fine on my old machine I get this error:

Undefined subroutine &ModPerl::ROOT::ModPerl::Registry::var_

http://www_vhosts_plesmo_2ecom_httpdocs_search::load_settings

The sub is "load_settings" called as "&load_settings". The weird thing is, after I click refresh page once or twice it loads up just fine.

load_settings is a subroutine in a "required" module that handles loading some required settings for the script..

use CGI qwstandard);
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );

$root_path='/home/httpd/vhosts/somedomain.com/';

require $root_path . 'cgi-bin/generic_subs.lib';

&load_settings();

$query = new CGI;
print $query->header();

It seems to work fine after I refresh the page once or twice but that's not how it should work.

Any ideas?

Btw. it always works fine when ran from the shell.

Also, when I restart apache it works fine, then I guess after it creates multiple sessions it starts to screw up.

This is running ModPerl

Is there a minimum revision of mod_perl that supports it? Are the settings the same as your old server?

Paul,

I figured out the error is caused by mod_perl name collision.

Replacing require with do solves that problem.
