$query-path+info is not what i thought it would be

[Andrew Clark]

Hi, could someone PLEASE help!

I am trying to write a script that if accessed through

http://server/script/

would produce HTML, where-as:

http://server/script/wap/ 

would produce WML.


That all worked fine until i converted to mod_perl. I did change
$ENV{'PATH_INFO'} to the $query-path_info() code and usually works fine
until there are multiple requests between wap and html.

from what i can tell if you access the script with /wap/ it always
works, but it's when you pass it nothing that I get what seems to be the
contents of the Environment String of PATH_INFO which as it happens is
the last document requested and would sometimes be /wap/.

I have Apache 1.3.19, mod_perl 1.25, and activeperl 5.6.1

Could someone please tell me if this is a problem with mod perl, or the
CGI module.

Thanks

Andrew

Thanks but it's nothing to do with global variables I don't think
eg.

my $query = new CGI;
print $query-path_info();


works when a path info has been added to the URL but returns random
results when there isn't one.
