Don't know about CGI in this context but is there any chance to switch
to Apache2::Request (libapreq2)?
If you really see an empty $r->args at that stage while you are certain
to have passed something then it is an error in mod_perl. Try to create
a test case as short and simple as you can and file a bugreport.
Try something like
warn "params: ".$req->args;
The warning will appear in the error_log.
Can you please be more detailed about where it spins in CGI.pm? My
version 3.29 looks like:
350 if ($MOD_PERL) {
351 if ($MOD_PERL == 1) {
352 $self->r(Apache->request) unless $self->r;
353 my $r = $self->r;
354 $r->register_cleanup(\&CGI::_reset_globals);
355 }
356 else {
357 # XXX: once we have the new API
358 # will do a real PerlOptions -SetupEnv check
359 $self->r(Apache2::RequestUtil->request) unless $self->r;
360 my $r = $self->r;
361 $r->subprocess_env unless exists $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD};
362 $r->pool->cleanup_register(\&CGI::_reset_globals);
363 }
364 undef $NPH;
365 }
Line 354 is somewhere in the mp1 code path. The mp2 code path looks
correct for me. Apache2::RequestUtil->request is set up in
postreadrequest and again in headerparser if +GlobalRequest.
cleanup_register() is also allowed here.
Ah, does your code check for a subrequest? Something like "return ... if
$r->main" or "return ... unless $r->is_initial_req"? If not you may see
it spinning in the subprocess_env line if your $r->path_info is not
empty. The reason is a subrequest issued during $r->subprocess in void
context to compute the standard CGI variable $ENV{PATH_TRANSLATED}.
Apache does that by $r->lookup_uri($r->path_info). Assuming you don't
have a download, ARULink or WebApp directory in your DocumentRoot the
whole URI will be in $r->path_info as well. So, the subrequest will hit
the same location container an thus the authen handler. Just a guess.

Sorry André but that is not entirely true. perl-script vs. modperl
simply means you want the more sophisticated response handler. It
affects only the response phase. Since the authen handler comes prior
to that it is irrelevant here. More sophisticated means you want %ENV
tied to $r->subprocess_env, tied *STDIN, *STDOUT, etc. The main reason
for me to avoid the perl-script handler is that it uses PerlOptions
+SetupEnv as default. That calls ap_add_cgi_vars() and that computes
$ENV{PATH_TRANSLATED} the IMHO most useless CGI variable. To do that it
issues a subrequest.
