INIT Blocks under mod_perl

["T.J. Mather" <tj...@anidea.com>]

Does anybody know if INIT blocks work under mod_perl?  I was trying to get
Geography::States to work under mod_perl and it doesn't seem to run the
code in the INIT block.  When I removed "INIT {" and the corresponding
"}" line from the Geography/States.pm file, the code ran fine.

I'm running mod_perl 1.24_01, Apache 1.3.14.

Thanks, TJ

Its a perl 5.6 addition, its like BEGIN, but called after compilation and
before execution.

Just remind me - what's an INIT block?
