I've just resolved a bug I was getting with parameter parsing, and was told that I should pass it along to the mod_perl list (which I'd been meaning to subscribe to anyway, so hey).
I'd been having problems getting CGI.pm to properly parse out script parameters for various pages that had been working just fine before. Further investigation showed that a simple script with just a call to CGI.pm's Dump() method would return parameters that were clearly not part of the argument portion of the url, and it wasn't grabbing the ones that were there. Hitting reload would trigger more or less random results -- sometimes it would get the right parameters & return the correct page contents, other times it would mangle the parameters but, generally, it would display an incorrect but valid page (i.e. ask for foo?p=bar and get back foo?p=blat). Turns out that a call to 'use HTML::Template' that I'd placed into my startup.pl script was causing all the errors. Commenting it out and restarting the server seems -- so far -- to have removed the problem. *and there was much rejoicing* So, if any of you are using H::T, be aware that it doesn't seem to like being called from your startup.pl scripts. If you're getting weird, semi random errors across more or less your whole site, this or something like it could be to blame. *yech* So anyway, yeah. I don't usually join a list & post straight off, so... <goes into lurk mode /> -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
