using 1.99_17...
moved code to a new machine that i built as compared to a pre-existing machine running... 1.99_07-dev
i have a stripped down CGI reading routine...
eval ( "sysread( \STDIN, \$input, $ENV{ 'CONTENT_LENGTH' } )" );
CGI.pm uses read, not sysread. Where did you find sysread in it? Which version are you using. (and in the future please follow the guidelines on problems report: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ so we don't have to ask the same questions again and again)
doesnt read anything
but
read( STDIN, $input, $ENV{ 'CONTENT_LENGTH' } );
does
there is a warning in the error log for the line that the eval is on:
Unrecognized escape \S passed through at /ai/toppik/lib/Infant/CGI.pm line 484.
any quick help on fixing this problem is appreciated. or actually just an explaination...
under mod_perl STDIN is tied *only* if run under 'perl-script' http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_perl_script_ and then you can read() from it.
perl's tie interface doesn't support SYSREAD (see perltie.pod), so you can't use sysread under mod_perl.
