The @in == 0, is the @in somewhere in ubb_library or ubb_library2 or is it an auto assgned varible like $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}? Same question for the $@ .

------------------
My place!

@in is just the storing of the parsing routine that is used by UBB.

$@ stores some error information about requireing files or something of the like.

$@ stores the results of the error (if any) from the eval statement.
