Hi Stas,

I understand.
I suppse the point I was making is that the code does compile, and does work
fine provided I start apache from a prmpt.
It's only when init starts it that it gives those compilation errors.

I'm going to try some extreme chmodding and see if I can trace it to
permissions.
Then I'll manually specify all modules as 'use',

See if I can trace it. I'll post my findings,

arty
