thanks. :)
I've ploughed through the manual and I'm pretty sure I've been trying
both notes and pnotes correctly. There's also a fairly common mistake of
assuming you're dealing with the initial request, when in fact
Apache->request is a sub-request and you need to use $r->main to
retrieve the main request to access your pnotes. I'm not making that
mistake either.
The last option you mention about mod_perl compilation options: I've
compiled with EVERYTHING=1 and I even grep'd the apache and mod_perl
source just now for 'pnotes' to see if I could spot anything. Nothing
popped out at me.
I'll try to recompile with
PLUS_THAT_OTHER_LITTLE_THING_NOT_INCLUDED_IN_EVERYTHING=1 now and see if
I have better luck ;)
