Startup script throwing error about $r when it shouldn't

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

        When I start Apache, I get this:

Global $r object is not available. Set:\n\tPerlOptions +GlobalRequest\nin 
httpd.conf at /var/www/html/mod_perl/Bugzilla.pm line 316.

        Okay...that's from my startup script (I cut out most of the error
message to make things clearer.)

        But here's that line:

sub request_cache {
    if ($ENV{MOD_PERL}) {
        require Apache2::RequestUtil;
316:    my $request = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;
        my $cache = $request->pnotes();


        It's inside a subroutine! And it's called dynamically! And that
subroutine is never called at compile time!

        So why in the world is mod_perl complaining?
