How about in a GlobalSub or usertag?

Thanks,

Typically, you can't access them directly.  The [perl] and [mvasp]
blocks are some kind of "special" environment.  You should look at 

http://developer.akopia.com/cgi-bin/ic/dev/icconfig_30.html

(which is the section in the reference guide about the "Interchange
Perl Objects").  Additionally, the Tag Regeference shows how to access
the IC tags from within perl.  Personally, I really dig this kind of
IC development.  More and more I am making my pages one big [perl]
block.

You might ask why I even bother to use IC is almost all of my pages
are straight perl.  Well, IC provides some really handy mechanisms for
handling e-comm.  I could re-write them all in my own perl library,
but why?  Even if I did, it wouldn't be as well tested as IC.
