Hi All,

Long time Perl coder but new to Modern Perl and Dancer.

Welcome! Are you the David Gethings I think you almost certainly are? If so, small world - howdy :)

I am using Dancer to provide a RESTful API to an existing Perl module. The problem I have is that none of the AUTOLOADed methods appear to work when I use the module in Dancer. If I use the module in a CLI script the AUTOLOADed methods work. Any ideas why the AUTOLOADed methods are not found?

I'm not sure OTTOMH; however I just tried a brief test case and confirmed that AUTOLOAD gets called in a basic Dancer app: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Dancer; sub AUTOLOAD { print "AUTOLOAD got called\n"; } get '/' => sub { bar(); "bar() called"; }; dance(); Running the above, I see "AUTOLOAD got called" in the output. That's probably over-simplifying things a little, but does prove that (at least for me) Dancer doesn't clobber an AUTOLOAD.

I've done some googling and have had no success in finding anyone with a similar problem. Nor can I find away to access the Perl debugger when using Dancer to see what my available object methods are.

You should be able to set a breakpoint within a route handler or wherever you want to? -- David Precious ("bigpresh") <davidp@preshweb.co.uk> http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ www.preshweb.co.uk/twitter www.preshweb.co.uk/linkedin www.preshweb.co.uk/facebook www.preshweb.co.uk/cpan www.preshweb.co.uk/github
