Hi all,

I am using params::validate and want to switch it off in production where i use it with apache httpd and mod_perl.
I set in the .cshrc.config PERL_NO_VALIDATION to 1.
Afterwards in the local_httpd.config i use PassEnv PERL_NO_VALIDATION
The parameter is passed well as i can verify it with warn $ENV{PERL_NO_VALIDATION}.

Unfortunately i get the error: 
The 'x' parameter (undef) to Y::foo was an 'undef', which is not one o
+f the allowed types: scalar
 at Y.pm line 70.
    ...
    ModPerl::ROOT::ModPerl::Registry::z_2ecgi::handler('Apache2::Reque
+stRec=SCALAR(0xb61b6a8)') called at ...
    eval {...} called at ...
    ModPerl::RegistryCooker::run('ModPerl::Registry=HASH(0xb6360c8)')

+ec=SCALAR(0xb61b6a8)') called at -e line 0
    eval {...} called at -e line 0

When i run the same cgi through command line everything works fine.
What is wrong here?
Thanks,
David
