Module Issue

If I have a module that looks like this:

module Mymod   require 'cgi'   params=CGI.new end

and I call a particular webpage like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/test1.html?test=value

and the particular web page has code in it that looks like this:

<% require mymod %> <p><%= Mymod::params['test'] %></p>

why does this bomb instead of displaying the word 'test'?

If I move the contents of the module to the actual page, I can get it to work just fine (of course, under that condition I omit the 'Mymod::').

How can I make this work?

Thanks for any input.

This doesn't make a params mehod on mymodule. It just creates a local variable. Not sure why you're fiddling around with CGI though.

Thanks.

Not sure why you're fiddling around with CGI though.

It's a bit of a because-it's-there type thing. I'm just playing around with some more basic Ruby code to see what I can and can't do. I'm still at a loss as to how I would pass the params from the module to the code that is requiring it.

Thanks again for the input.
