Hi Adrian,

Thank you very much for your reply and hint.
I tried to define some variables in %STASH within a Plugin hooking to init.
I cannot see how to make them available in scripts and templates.
I tried a Plugin hook:

Code:
sub init { 
    my (@args) = @_; 

    $STASH{test} = "I was here!"; 
    return @args; 
}

... and it did not work. I thought a problem might be this part of sub init { within Links.pm

Code:
    $PLG->dispatch('init', sub {}); 

    (%STASH, $GLOBALS, $LANGUAGE, $USER) = (); 
}

I changed it to:

Code:
    $PLG->dispatch('init', sub {}); 

    (%STASH, $GLOBALS, $LANGUAGE, $USER) = (); 
    $STASH{anothertest} = "...and here"; 
}

The code did not make anything show up neither in a perl script nor in a template (I used Data Dumper for %STASH which is empty, $STASH{test), $STASH{anothertest} and <%STASH.test%>).

It would be great to get another hint.

I thought of using $IN as well but I do not like this one either but maybe there is no problem:

Code:
sub init { 
    my (@args) = @_; 
    $IN->{mystash} = {}; 
    $IN->{mystash}->{test} = "... and here as well"; 
    return @args; 
}

I guess the code is just dynamically and cannot be overwritten by params. So it might be better than using $CFG but %STASH seems to be more reasonable.

Regards
