If I understand correctly then it is thus a bug in CGI.pm (it uses $r->headers_in without doing use APR::Table). Maybe it would be possible to include this in the documentation, as it is not clear at this moment. E.g. on http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/RequestRec.html it is not shown in the synopsis (the code in the synopsis will generate the error as well). > > Imvho a module returning an APR::Table object should use the package > > implementing the object (thus, Apache::RequestRec should "use > > APR::Table").

I'm used to the "maybe you forgot to load" hints in case a module is not present at all, hence me missing the obvious. Yes, I'm spoiled :-) Kind regards, -- Sebastiaan Hoogeveen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NederHost http://www.nederhost.nl Fax: 020 - 4095 982 -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
