Do what? Set env vars? Of course it should... if it's safe. But as you can see from the recent mod_perl thread about Oracle DBD not working with mod_perl 2.0 when %ENV was set in the registry script, since %ENV isn't tied to environ, because it's not thread safe. I wrote this module to debug the case, since I don't have Oracle to test with. This module was only needed for getenv() and dumpenv() so those who don't know C can at least debug things. But I've generalized it and added setenv() and unsetenv() while I was at it. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
