RE: [Mason] is autohandler global?

[John H. <jo...@gr...>]

It's global in that if the autohandler is placed correctly, ie. on the root
level, then all other components will reference it.  As for it actually
being a global, read this section of the book:

http://www.masonbook.com/book/chapter-3.mhtml#TOC-ANCHOR-5

Specifically the paragraph that says:

"Note that the $dbh variable was not declared with my() in either component,
so it should be declared using the Mason allow_globals parameter (or,
equivalently, the MasonAllowGlobals directive in an Apache config file). The
allow_globals parameter tells the compiler to add use vars statements when
compiling components, allowing you to use the global variables you specify.
This is the easiest way to share variables among several components in a
request, but it should be used sparingly, since having too many global
variables can be difficult to manage."

Subject: [Mason] is autohandler global?


I apologize for my newbie-ness.

Are variables in 'autohandler' global to all
components?

I have in autohandler:

<%init>
local $user_info = ...
</%init>


and the other components are accessing it. It appears
to be global to me, and I'm wondering if only <%init>
variables are global, or are all the variables in
'autohandler' global?

Thanks.
