Transaction handler weirdness

Hi,

We have recently installed a new machine with Apache/1.3.9 mod_perl/1.21 mod_ssl/2.4.10 OpenSSL/0.9.4 perl 5.004_04 configured

A perl transaction handler that works fine on Apache/1.3.6 mod_perl/1.21 5.00503 is now intermittantly dying on the new box

with the following error;

Can't call method "register_cleanup" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/CGI.pm at line 263

The transaction handler is trying to parse cookies into a hash as follows

my %cookies = CGI::Cookie->parse($r->header_in('Cookie'));

Line 263 of CGI.pm is

Apache->request->register_cleanup(\&CGI::_reset_globals);

in the following sub routine

sub new {
    my($class,$initializer) = @_;
    my $self = {};
    bless $self,ref $class || $class || $DefaultClass;
    if ($MOD_PERL) {

Apache->request->register_cleanup(\&CGI::_reset_globals);

        undef $NPH;
    }
    $self->_reset_globals if $PERLEX;
    $self->init($initializer);
    return $self;
}

Any ideas as to where the problem lies?

Thanks

Kevin
