Re: [MP2] problem with persistance in CGI.pm params

[Ewan Bain]

I have upgraded to perl 1.99_16, perl 5.8.5 and apache 2.050 but am 
still seeing the same problem.

I just uploaded my test script to another server and the first time I 
ran it with no parameters, it showed parameters that were previously 
passed to a different program.

Could there be something in the way I have configured Apache that is 
causing this. From what I can see CGI.pm is supposed to work as normal 
with no changes under MP2.

Apache2 is configured with :
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers         1
MinSpareServers      1
MaxSpareServers      1
MaxClients           5
MaxRequestsPerChild  0
</IfModule>
.....
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
PerlModule Apache2
PerlRequire /cp/etc/httpd/mod_perl.pl
.....
Alias /eventxcel/ "/cp/cpfiles/eventXcel/"
<Location /eventxcel/>
                SetHandler perl-script
                PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
                PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
                Options +ExecCGI
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
</Location>
$r->args() and $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} both contain the correct values but 
what comes back from CGI makes no sense.

Hi,
Until yesterday I retrieved input variables to my CGI scripts myself. 
Now I need to do file uploads so decided to use CGI.pm (3.05).

Unfortunately I'm getting a problem where if I restart the server and 
run the program it get s variables fine but on all subsequent request 
it still only ever sees the original input parameters.

I'm using httpd-2.0.50, mod_perl-1.99_14 and perl5.8.3 on Debian.
To try and find my problem i created a small script :
#!/cp/apps/bin/perl
use CGI;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $q = CGI->new();
my $params = $q->Vars();
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
foreach my $key (keys %{$params}) {
    print "Key : $key - Param $params->{$key}<br>";
}
i test it on perl 1.99_16, perl 5.8.5, apache 2.050 on fedora 2
no problem's for me !

It behaves exactly like my main program. I've been through as much of 
the Mod_perl docs as I could understand and searched google to no 
avail.  I found some information in the CGI.pm docs but none of it 
appears to be applicable here.

I have also tried getting my $r = Apache->request; and passing it to 
CGI->new() but all I get back is :
Key : Apache::RequestRec - Param SCALAR(0x82a13f8)

I would really appreciate if someone can point out where I'm going wrong.
Thanks,
Ewan.
