In trying to develop a simple perl script, I have run into some kind of caching problem which is making development an absolute nightmare.
The problem arises when I am using a subroutine. Whilst developing the subroutine, I (obviously) make errors in the code! I try the script out in the browser and get an error message, as you would expect. So then I revert the code back to what it was when it was working... try it in the browser again just to check, and I get an error message once again... strange, I just reverted the code back to what it was when I knew it was working.! Sometimes, if I click refresh several times, it may suddenly decide to start working again. I can force it to work properly again by renaming the subroutine! Another way I can force it to start working again is to restart apache! When the code is in such a state that I know for a fact it should be working, and the browser gives me an error... I can run the script successfully from the command line!!! anyone ever had this (or a similar) problem????!! -- Tom David Kirkpatrick Virus Bulletin Web Developer, Virus Bulletin Tel: +44 1235 555139 Web: www.virusbtn.com
