Re: [Slashcode-development] Table mapping catch 22

[Jason R. <ja...@ar...>]

That's my whole problem...  $r is not set.  I don't even understand
why I need a request object when all I want to do is to access the
database.  I would be ecstatic if I could just get a hold of the
virtual username.  Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that the
request object would only be valid if there was a request.  I have
this problem when I start the server, because there is no request.  I
also had luck with this code:

    my $virtuser = "slash";
    my $driver = DBIx::Password->connect($virtuser);
    my $sth = $driver->prepare("
               SELECT name,location FROM table_map
            ");

    $sth->execute();
    while(my ($name,$location) = $sth->fetchrow_array()){
       $Slash::TableMap::table_map->{$name} = "$location";
    }
    $driver->disconnect();
    $Slash::TableMap::dirty=0;                                                                                                                                       
It works perfectly...  But, as you can see, I hard-coded the $virtuser
instead of getting the name of the one I need through the proper
channels.  Is there an easy way to get the virtuser with out futzing
with the Apache->request object?
