Hi Perrin

Thanks again. This is most helpful.

I've now wrapped the top level call in an eval block and that works fine.
Just one problem though - print STDERR is printing the message to the main
server error log not the virtual host error log. die printed it to the
virtual host error log. It doesn't really matter as only I not clients will
be looking at the log but it is a frustration.


regards

Kropotkin
