Hi,
I am having very strange problem with environment variables.
>From Apache::PerlRun script(cgi) I am setting env and firing background
process ..
system("$command &") (or print `$command &`;)
now looks like environment variable being persistence b/w different
requests ONLY in background process. so it's looks to me that mod_perl
is setting proper "Perl Level" env but failing to reset env at "c level"
or "process level". I know it's sounds very weird.
/perl-status?env is printing correctly but my background process
($command) is printing few extra env, which i set it in different cgi
script.
e.g. "script1.pl" is setting $ENV{foo1} = "foo1" and firing print
`command1 &`;
and "script2.pl" is setting $ENV{foo2} = "foo2" and firing print
`command2 &`;
after few hits both env(foo1 and foo2) are visible to both background
processes.
while /perl-status?env is displaying correctly.
Here command1 and command2(perl scripts) are just printing env
Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21
