Thanks - I have been digging around all afternoon, at least I am learning a lot
about how it works!

Changing that round doesn't make any difference. I agree that the alias hash is
OK, I have debugged 
 parsing catalog foundcscp = {'script' => "/foundcscp",'name' =>
"foundcscp",'alias' => ["/cgi-bin/foundcscp",],'dir' =>
"/var/lib/interchange/foundcscp",}
parsing catalog tutorial = {'script' => "/cgi-bin/tutorial",'name' =>
"tutorial",'alias' => [],'dir' => "/var/lib/interchange/tutorial",}

global_config goes through each of the four catalogs and 
calls config_named_catalog for each of my catalogs
config_named_catalog calls this block
       eval {
                $Vend::Cfg = $c;
                $::Variable = $Vend::Cfg->{Variable};
                $::Pragma   = $Vend::Cfg->{Pragma};
                Vend::Data::read_salestax();
                Vend::Data::read_shipping();
                open_database(1);
                my $db;
                close_database();
       }
which sets the $::Variable hash. It seems to process the catalogs in
alphabetical order so at the end of global_config the variables from the last of
the four catalogs tutorial is set

when soap_server is called the $::Variable->{FILE_NAME} is set to tutorial value
when http_soap is called this is still true
when http_soap sets catname to /foundcscp should it call config_named_catalog?

What I find odd that the correct database is opened (foundcscp) but I don't see
where this is done.
