[Lxr-dev] httpclean error

[Joseph W. <jwi...@ou...>]

I just did an update from CVS, set up my config again, and found the
following error as soon as I hit LXR on the web:

[Thu Oct 18 10:45:42 2001] [error] Bareword "httpclean" not allowed while
"strict subs" in use at /.../lxr/source line 305.

I haven't had a chance to look into this error yet, but has anybody else
seen this error, or might know where it comes from? (I also tried restarting
Apache to make sure there were no hanging modules that might be causing
this)

 The error message means that you cannot call a subroutine that has not 
been defined yet with "strict subs" is in operation.  However, Common.pm 
does define this subroutine and export it, so there should be no problems.

I've seen this and it seems to be caused by having an old version of 
Common.pm loaded in the web server.  For me, restarting Apache cured the 
problem.

You could check that the @EXPORT_OK array in Common.pm does include 
httpclean in case somehow the CVS update has not worked correctly.

Cheers,
