Re: $r-args troubles...
You would have guessed right. However, the problem was two fold in my case.
First, I was not calling Apache::Request correctly. The proper method to
call Apache was told to me by Doug Kyle (Giving credit where due!). Below is
how it is done.
--- Begin Example
my $r = Apache-request;
my $apr = Apache::Request-new($r);
my %params = $apr-args;
print $params{"Player"};
End Example
The 'print $params{"Player"}' would be used to get and print something like
the parameters from the URL of a GET like
"www.example.com/find_player.pl?Player=Mullen" (Not a real site, dont
click!).
Second part of my problem was that I had an error in my Apache::Registry
setup in Apache.conf or perl.conf (Can't remember where I put it). The
script I was running was not being picked up by Apache::Registry and thus
not working.
Thanks for everyone's help.
PS. The only reason I say this on the mailing list is to get it in to the
mailing list archives because I could not my solution there when I looked.

that would normally indicate your script is running under mod_cgi, not
mod_perl.
my $r = new Apache::Request; ---Where the error appears
in any case, you need to change that to:
my $r = Apache::Request-new(shift);
or
my $r = Apache::Request-new(Apache-request);

RE: $r-args troubles...
you are calling Apache::Request-new incorrectly - see the docs :)

Dear Mod_Perl'lers
I hate to bug the list with this simple problem, but I am at
my wits end. I
have The Good Book (Aka: Apache Modules with Perl and C. Aka:
The Eagle
Book) but have some questions that are just killing me.
I would like to do something like the program on page 104 -
110 and also
page 130 - 135 of The Eagle book. For those of you not
blessed with this
book, I am trying to recover the parameter from a GET
request. Below is my
code I correctly using, but my problem is the Apache::Request and
Apache::Constant are not being found or used or whatever is
the error (Error
posted below).
Some notes, I have tried adding "use Apache::Constants
qw(:common)" but it
also returns the same error. I have also replaced the last
line with "my
($FirstInfo, $SecondInfo) = split /=/, $r-args;" with no
success either. I
have those modules installed, and I forced reinstalled them
to make sure
along with Bundle::Apache.
If anyone could point me to a really good example of the
r-args and GET
requests I would really appreciate it.
---My Error---
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Apache::Request" at
../find_player.pl line 10.
---MY CODE---
use strict;
use Apache::Request ();
use CGI qw(:standard);
use DBI;
my $r = new Apache::Request; ---Where the error appears
my $dbh ||= DBI-connect('dbi:mysql:Action', 'login',
'password') || die
"Could not open Database: ";
my ($person_id, $name, $totalkills, $totalkilled);
my %arguments = $r-args;

Re: $r-args troubles...
It goes like this:
my $r = Apache-request;
my $apr = Apache::Request-new($r);
