If you'll read carefully, you'll see that I'm talking about mod_perl 1.x not mod_perl 2.
Otherwise, I would completely agree. The _exact_ same code _does_ work under mod_perl2.
I also see that the problem Bart was referring to was fixed in 2.93

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.
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();

Thanks that did it.
Great.
It would be nice though if the minimum rev level of the CGI.pm could be mentioned in the doc. Or maybe it is there somewhere and I skimmed over it.
It's a a CGI.pm problem, really. We can't go and support all possible modules that may or may not run under mod_perl 2.0. However we do have this section:
http://perl.apache.org/products/apache-modules.html#Porting_CPAN_modules_to_mod_perl_2_0_Status
We probably should specify the version number of each of these modules. Can somebody please lookup those modules and send me a patch with the version number which starts to support mod_perl 2.0?
No need for Apache::Peek, CGI and CGI::Cookie since I know these versions already.
I'm CC'ing Shannon, since he has ported most of the auth modules.
The 'Configuring mod_perl2.0 page for win32' at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/config.html would a nice place to
mention this.
Certainly not there, since it's windows specific and CGI.pm is used on all platforms. However we could link to the URL I have mentioned from other docs. I think porting docs are more relevant, than config.

269.
upgrade your CGI.pm to 2.93 or higher.
