First, check your conf file to be sure you have this turned on. There are docs related to it here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_GlobalRequest_ You can test it by writing a little handler (or Registry script) that calls Apache->request(). That should return an Apache::RequestRec object if all is well. If it doesn't, you may have an old mod_perl 2 build or you may have found a bug. If you can't get that to work, there is also the direct approach which is to pass a RequestRec object to CGI.pm when you call the new() method. Registry scripts get a RequestRec object passed to them as their first param, so you can just shift it into a variable (usually called $r) and pass it as CGI->new($r). - Perrin
