dear list, i run into some trouble today for which i couldn't figure ailment myself nor find it googling. i got a cgi-bin dir running cgi/perl scripts under Apache::PerlRun. the directory is protected by a function in a .pm (Cartas::handler) called as a PerlInitHandler which reads some session data passed to it via GET from which it builds a cookie. when i try to read the data using CGI's param function in my Cartas::handler routine nothing is read. however, Apache::Request reads the data just fine so i figured i had everything resolved. however, when i try to read the param's in my cgi scripts via CGI's param functions nothing is returned. if i avoid reading the params with Apache::Request::param CGI::param will return the data correctly inside the CGI scripts. basically the whole thing is starting to bite its own tail and i would be very happy if anybody could give me any pointers as to why CGI won't read my data from the PerlInitHandler or after Apache::Request read them. and by the way its Apache 1.3.22 with mod_perl 1.26, perl 5.6.1 and CGI.pm version 2.80
biting his nails, tim
