i did something like :

module ManPage  
MANPATH=[]  
MANSEC=[]  
end

class Page  
include ManPage

attr\_accessor :manpath,:section,:page,:count,:key

def initialize(manpath,section,page)  
…  
end

using that from another script:

require ‘man\_rep/manpage’ #requires the file where are the module  
ManPage and the class Page

include ManPage

and the error come in this line (just above) ?

why ? what did i misunderstood ?

the purpose of the “module” is only to get the two arrays MANPATH and  
MANSEC common to both the class Page and any script using this class  
Page.

i should mention, the script itself is a cgi script working under  
mod\_ruby (Apache2).

it was a caching problem, restarting the server did the trick…
