problem using memoize in folder where a module Config.pm is

[david]

HI all,

I've encountered a strange thing.

I want to use Memoize from a module in a folder where a Module
Config.pm is and it tells me the following error Global symbol
"%Config" requires explicit package name at /exlibris/sfx_ver/
sfx_version_3/app/perl-5.10.0/lib/5.10.0/Memoize.pm line 74.
I see that Memoize also uses the Config module. When using Memoize
from any other folder it works perfect.
I can not change the name of the Config module since it is used in
many places.

How can i solve the problem ?

Thanks,
David

This line is too long to debug, too complicated, the path to the
..pm makes it sound like its from outer space.

"requires explicit package name" - check if its declard in the scope
of the block. Or, check errors before this one which is giving false
positives.

try changing "use Memoize;" with following:

BEGIN{
local @INC = grep { $_ !~ /^\./ } @INC;
require Memoize;
Memoize->import('memoize');
}

This would prevent searching for modules (Config.pm) in current folder.

cool idea.
This works

There may be babies in that bathwater.

If you want to elimnate only the current directory, then eliminate
only the current directory:

local @INC = grep { $_ ne '.' } @INC;
