Re: hangs on $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}
Well, I've managed to make some significant progress: I got past that
hang (apparently modperl was having problems with the URL b/c some of
the values were being passed empty... i.e.,
stage=4eqtype=Allcont=restrictflags=12... notice that cont has no
value.
At any rate, I solved that problem by forcing the form that passes the
information in to always have at least a bare minimum of data in each
field... and it seems to be working.
My next problem, which took four hours to track down, is that it turns
out that mod_perl is choking on null values being retrieved from MySQL.
I'm using DBI for the interface, and the actual fetch_row is performing
exactly the way it should... but when it tries to do anything with my
scalar once it has a null in it, it just chokes sits there until it
times out. Is this a known bug? Is there a known fix for it, other
than ensuring I never have null values in my database?
Thanks,
Mike Forbes

Anywhere, what's happening is that the code below this paragraph is just

here's the relevant code:

print TD WIDTH='33%' ALIGN='CENTER' BGCOLOR='#22'A

Thanks in advance, and again, sorry if this is a FAQ, I just couldn't
find the answer anywhere.

That sounds pretty bad. Maybe you should go back to mod_perl 1.3, which definitely does not have problems with that.

Are you using the pre-fork MPM? If not, do you know if your DBD driver is threadsafe? - Perrin
