note syphilis Hi Patrick,<br> Yes, I now recall this <c>Inline->init();</c> trick having cropped up before - though I can't quite recall the context. <br><br>I had the impression from earlier postings in this thread that, wrt Inline::Java, it wasn't necessary to load a MyPackage.pm to strike the problem. Instead it was enough to merely load the Inline::Java module into another namespace (as per my Inline::C demo).<br>Perhaps that's not so - I don't currently have Inline::Java installed and therefore can't check that for myself. <br><br>Anyway, if Inline::C and Inline::Java aren't in exactly the same boat here, it looks like they're at least part of the same fleet ;-)<br><br>Hopefully <c>Inline->init();</c> will solve the OP's problems.<br>Thanks for chiming in, Patrick !<br><br>Cheers,<br>Rob 1019102 1020270
