[Zope] Perl/Zope, How to get REQUEST's and RESPONSE's

14 Mar 2001

      Hello,

I have tried numerous ways to use the REQUEST and/or the RESPONSE object's in
perl methods in Zope without success. I have a Perl Script:

arguments: self, REQUEST, RESPONSE

Code:
	return $REQUEST->items();

And i get an error:
    Error Type: PerlError
    ErrorValue: Usage: Python::PyObject_GetAttr(o, attrname) at .../perl/Zope.pm
    line 118.

Also I tried an unrestricted Perl script, testperl.pm:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
package testperl;
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(testit);

sub testit {
    local $self = shift @_;
    local $REQUEST = shift @_;
    local $RESPONSE = shift @_;

    return $REQUEST->items();
}

return 1;

---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is installed in ZopeBase/Extensions/ZopeExt/testperl.pm

When I try it I get:

     ErrorType: PerlError
     ErrorValue: Undefined subroutine
     &ZopeExt::testperl::testit called

Please reply to me directly as I am not on the list.

Thanks,
