You would have guessed right. However, the problem was two fold in my case.
First, I was not calling Apache::Request correctly. The proper method to
call Apache was told to me by Doug Kyle (Giving credit where due!). Below is
how it is done.
<--- Begin Example
my $r = Apache->request;
my $apr = Apache::Request->new($r);
my %params = $apr->args;
print $params{"Player"};
<---- End Example
The 'print $params{"Player"}' would be used to get and print something like
the parameters from the URL of a GET like
"www.example.com/find_player.pl?Player=Mullen" (Not a real site, dont
click!).
Second part of my problem was that I had an error in my Apache::Registry
setup in Apache.conf or perl.conf (Can't remember where I put it). The
script I was running was not being picked up by Apache::Registry and thus
not working.
Thanks for everyone's help.
PS. The only reason I say this on the mailing list is to get it in to the
mailing list archives because I could not my solution there when I looked.
