[Koha-devel] mod_perl (was: DBIx::Class stuff)

[Ryan Higgins]

I assume that C4::Context's overriding of Exporter's import method
is a big problem for anyone wishing to run more than one Koha instance
on a mod_perl enabled machine.  While it's convenient to be able to just
call C4::Context->dbh  to get the active db handle from Context's package
global $context,  I think we will have to refactor much of Koha's api and
start
passing a $context object around instead of using the package global.

Am I missing something, or will this be necessary to run multiple Kohas
under mod_perl ?
