[webmin-devel] Using Inline in a Webmin module

[Chris N. <cni...@fo...>]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to use Inline::Python in a webmin module.

I can execute the script from the command line and things go just fine: I
am able to bind to the Python lib and create objects based on Python
classes, etc.

Once I add code to the script to load up the required webmin prereqs, the
problems start. I end up with an error like this:

"Can't locate object method "new" via package "FooBar" (perhaps you forgot
to load "FooBar"?)"

Where "FooBar" is the Perl name for a Python class "foobar".

For some reason it looks like maybe @INC is not correct the second time
around, but I cannot confirm that.

Could it be that Inline compiles the library in one location, but somehow
there is a change relative to that location once inside of the webmin
environment?

Any thoughts on what's going on?

Kind Regards,
Chris
