Howdy David,
Thanks. You are correct, sir!
$ rpm -q httpd mod_perl
httpd-2.0.51-1.10.legacy
mod_perl-1.99_12-2
Switching to CGI and tossing the "export CVS_RSH"
from the server startup script works as originally
advertised/coded (i.e. $ENV{} in Cvs.pm works).
It is also remarkably faster in retrieving the full text
using CGI than using mod_perl. CGI takes about 3 seconds
here to retrieve a 220 line file via SSH. mod_perl takes
about 40!
Perhaps I should just stick with running in CGI mode for now.
I went with mod_perl given the:
"Using mod_perl provides performance benefits for Perl-based
web applications."
blurb in the instructions. In my limited testing,
I'm not seeing any "benefits". :)
I agree... damn shame that "hysterically" CVS has never provided
a command-line option for CVS_RSH (and therefore probably never will).
