Could anyone help me solve this annoying problem? Thanks in advance! I'm trying to use Apache2::AuthCookie as the anthenticator of my apache server. But even at the beginning of loading the login page, apache report error.

Can't locate object method "request" via package "Apache2::RequestUtil" at /var/www/html/ht2/login.cgi line 10.

I'm using a .cgi script to generate the login page. In the script I use Apache2::RequestUtil to get the previous apache requst record but failed. 
use Apache2::RequestUtil ();

my $r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;
my $prev = $r->prev;
my $uri = $prev->uri;
my $args = $prev->args;
$uri .= "?$args" if $args;
my $reason = $prev->subprocess_env('AuthCookieReason');
my $error = "";
if ($reason)
