[modperl]

Apache/Mod_Perl

hi,
just one thing i want to mention.

in a cgi script i do:
use CGI;
my $result = `./foo.pl a=b c=d`;

foo. pl looks like this:
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI (join '&', @ARGV);
print $q->param('a');

what happens is, that foo.pl won't execute because of:
error.log:
Can't locate object method "request" via package "Apache"

it works when i put the line
$CGI::MOD_PERL = 0;
into foo.pl

my httpd.conf:
<Files *.pl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
</Files>

Re: [modperl] [In reply to]

yes - you are calling foo.pl via a separate
process which of course is outside of mod_perl.

it is inheriting the environment however, so
it thinks it is running under mod_perl.

your fix is correct - but you probably do not
want to run a perl script using the backticks.

$ENV{MOD_PERL} is not inherited, if CGI.pm would check that instead of
$ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE}, that should fix the problem.
did anyone mention `` throws performance out the window?
