cgi script vs mod_perl script

["J. J. Horner" <jh...@2jnetworks.com>]

I have a script that uses some hash magic to set some variables.  It works well in normal mode, but
when I put it in my /perl directory, it stops working well.

The full script is included.  In the script, I set up a hash of variables->subroutines
so that when someone sets a variable, it calles a specific subroutine using
$hash{$value}->()

It doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

You didn't explicitly say what "doesn't work" about it, but it sounds like
the my scope variable problem described here:

    http://perl.apache.org/guide/perl.html#my_Scoped_Variable_in_Nested_S

You should either pass arguments/return values or declare your variables
using 'our' or 'use vars'.
