RE: Apache2::Upload and End of file found error Part 2
Argh you're right - since it was created in the global hash I thought it
was part of the globals and didn't look closely enough.
Yep, I was just making sure.. That makes it even more of a mystery though,
don't you think?
Since then I went though created a new CGI object within that sub whenever I've
needed it, and it seems to work. The problem only appears to happen if a new
CGI object is created within the handler or within a sub that is called from
the handler and it only effects upload?? Bizzare, but I'm trying to move
on..
You don't need it if you're using Apache::Request though. You can use
Apache::Request_or_ CGI, you don't need to use both at the same time.
I'm giving that a shot now, If I can get Apache2::Cookie to work right and find
some way to duplicate CGI.pm's escape and unescape methods I won't need
CGI.pm at all..
Thanks!

Folks,
I'm still trying to figure out what to do about this upload problem.. I've
figured out that somehow creating a new CGI object is causing the problem
but I have no idea how or what to do.
Below is a bare bone test upload script, if you comment out the my $CGI =
new CGI(); in the sub init_global_vals then the update works fine, if its
uncommented then the server error of End of file found happens.

I have no idea how one relates to the other, any ideas?
I'm not sure why you would want a CGI object shared between requests but
my guess is that it's doing something strange as a result and I can't
see any advantage to that approach. If you don't have that $CGI object
around and it works fine that might be telling you that it's causing
trouble and not helping.
A few other comments that might keep you from running into other problems:
1) 'perldoc vars' - use 'our' in favor of 'use vars'
2) don't use global variables unless you really need them and they serve
a useful purpose ($template_header and $template_footer globals are ok
since they are stateless, $CGI objects are not)
3) try the latest version of libapreq, 2.08. I don't think it will fix
your existing problem (which the $CGI seems to be the root of), but
there have been a number of bug fixes since the release you're using.
4) Take a look at Apache::DBI instead of keeping $db in a global -
$db = ISMH::ConnectDBUser-connect_to_db();
HTH - I think the simple issue to fix your problem is don't use a
global $CGI object FWIW
Thanks

Subject: Apache2::Upload and End of file found error
Hi,
I'm trying to use Apache2::Upload as shown in the examples and the only
thing I get is End of file found in the error log.
I've found quite a few messages on the subject, but I'm not using Mason and
I'm using libapreq2.0.7.1.
I've tried the fh and slurp methods and both are the same.
Code I've been playing with
my $req = Apache2::Request-new($r);
my $upload = $req-upload('new_image');
my $size = $upload-size;
my $uploaded_file = $upload-fh;
#$upload-slurp($uploaded_file);
#$upload-link($uploaded_photo_name) or
# die sprintf link from '%s' failed: $!, $upload-tempname;
Server Info
Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.1.6 mod_apreq2-20051231/2.5.7 mod_perl/2.0.2
Perl/v5.8.8 configured
TIA

That makes it even more of a mystery though, don't you think? Well, although the CGI object is not a global, you are keeping the HTTP data in a global, %form_data. Since then I went though created a new CGI object within that sub whenever I've needed it, and it seems to work. The problem only appears to happen if a new CGI object is created within the handler or within a sub that is called from the handler and it only effects upload?? Bizzare, but I'm trying to move on.. This is probably because CGI.pm is reading all the form input and not leaving it for Apache2::Request to read. You don't need it if you're using Apache::Request though. You can use Apache::Request_or_ CGI, you don't need to use both at the same time. I'm giving that a shot now, If I can get Apache2::Cookie to work right and find some way to duplicate CGI.pm's escape and unescape methods I won't need CGI.pm at all.. See the docs for porting escape_uri and escape_html from mod_perl 1 here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/compat.html - Perrin
RE: Apache2::Upload and End of file found error Part 2
Thanks for the tips Fred, but I don't understand what you mean about the CGI
object being shared between requests - that CGI object wasn't global or
anything, its created and used within that sub and that's it??
I don't know if I can remove the use of CGI.pm completely, is there no way to
get them to work together??
Thanks
