hi all, (i couldn't find any hints on this in the docs, so here it goes) consider these two one-liners, perl -MCGI -MCGI::Cookie -e'$q=new CGI;print $q->param("foo")' foo=bar perl -MCGI=:standard -MCGI::Cookie -e'print param("foo")' foo=bar it doesn't print "bar" as expected. it doesn't prompt me also for input when no argument is provided. i.e. it doesn't try to populate param() it prompts only when i remove the -MCGI::Cookie. strange? of coz i can use CGI->cookie to fetch and create cookies, but it doesn't make sense if i can't use these two modules together. if they're really bugs, it may have potential problems with mod_perl scripts when both modules are (pre-)loaded in Apache. regards, kenneth PS. my kit: perl-5.6.0/rh6.1
