I'll disagree on this being a windows only problem in CGI. I'll also disagree about the version number.
As late as CGI 3.00 this problem exists in Apache 1.3.27 and mod_perl 1.27 on SunOS.
I believe it's not the problem Bart was talking about. You are most likely talking about Apache->request failing, which is how it should be if the GlobalRequest option is not set. Bart's problem was finding the request method.
The pdf troubleshooting doc on apache.org site suggest fix (I think its 5.17) also does _not_ work either
a temp work around I've come up with is
eval { $query = CGI->new(); }; return 1 if $@;
instead of just $query = CGI->new();
You don't need a workaround. You need to setup PerlOptions +GlobalRequest if you get this error. Unless you are talking about something else, in which case please tell use the exact error you are talking about.
Thanks.
