Folks I'm aware of this doc:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/perl_reference/perl_reference.html Click on: 'my() Scoped Variable in Nested Subroutines' for details. and I've just had a similar experience with $q -> path_info(). Context: In this environment: Win2K, Apache 1.3.26, mod_perl 1.27_01-dev, Perl 5.6.1, CGI.pm 2.89,the CGI method path_info(), when given a URL without any path info, returns the path info from the previous submit, but only if the CGI script is running as an Apache::Registry script.When the CGI script is run as a simple cgi-bin script, this bug is not manifest.This is very like the behavior of my()-scoped variables in nested subroutines, documented above. Under Perl 5.8.0, Apache 2.0.43 the problem does not occur. Is this a known problem? If so, I suggest it be added to the docs. -- Cheers Ron Savage, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 11/12/2002 http://savage.net.au/index.html
