Specifically, if I am running an Apache server with mod_perl, I would like different scripts to able to refer to conflicting versions of the DB_File or Storable modules. Actually, that is even useful in a conversion script... Now, I would not mind if this required some ClassLoader-like trickery - if doesn't have to be easy, but it should be possible.Thread Next
