If you call Apache::Request->instance with an undefined value, it dies when it tries to call pnotes() on that argument.
It seems to me that it should simply return a false value if given undef. This can happen if you have a piece of code like this: my $r = Apache::Request->instance(Apache->request); which may be called during server startup or during a request. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/ -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
