Problem reading from STDIN

Hi all,   We've moved all our old perl cgi scripts to run under mod_perl(PerlRun) now. There's a peculiar problem I'm seeing with POST requests. Basically, I'm not able to read anything from stdin at all. For eg, if I just have a form that takes some data, that data is just not available at

One potential tip to offer is that if you want to rotate your logs but not do a hard restart on the server, use something else for the log generation. You may want to try out mod_log_spread from the mod_backhand site. If it's not too difficult to setup, then you might be able to use another ser
