Afternoon all,

I have been asked to take a look at a .pl file which is part of a set-up
called "EPrints". The particular file controls who can access documents on
a server.

Excluding some comments, the file starts like:

$c->{can_request_view_document} = sub
{
        my( $doc, $r ) = @_;

It then goes on to complete the subroutine and return a value.

I understand that $doc and $r are populated via @_ but I have never before
seen the structure of the first line starting with "$c". Additionally, the
file doesn't look like a typical Perl file (eg.#!/usr/bin/perl -w at the
top and some use statements).

I know it's very vague, but could anybody explain this syntax to me? My
suspicion is that something else is calling the subroutines in this file?
Am I at least on the right track?

Thanks,
James
