perl to modperl transition problems

[Nath <na...@hotmail.com>]

I loaded up modperl and everything looks like it's working, but there's a
few transition problems moving over from perl to modperl. For starters, the
"do" command isn't working. I use this to load external scripts since I keep
things separated into their own files. For some reason modperl just reads
right over them and I don't know why. Secondly, I read XML files that were
located right in the actual cgi-bin folder. Ex: open "XML/file.xml". Except
now modperl expects me to put in the entire location
C:\webserver\perl\xml\file.xml. It's a bit of a convenience thing, but is
there anyway to maintain the original perl's functionality for local file &
folder lookups?

Nice! It all worked now. It's odd how the page said this problem would be
fixed in version 2.0 =)

Thanks for your help,
Nath

These sound like they are both the same thing, i.e. the server is not 
doing a chdir into the directory of the script like CGI does.  Are you 
using mod_perl 2 and ModPerl::Registry?  If so, look at this:
