Hello All,

I'm facing some strange issue with Perl CGI. I'm using Apache2 as the webserver (i also use mode_perl2).

The Problem is whenever i request the CGI URL (http://mydomai.com/cgi-bin/t2/detail.cgi?adId=9) , the page not properly refreshing or responding.
First time it reads the param and displays '9' then if i change the param value to 2 (or somthing else) it again displays 9 if i wait for sometime and hit the url it shows 2. again if the change the param value to 5 it displays 2 or 9...
basically the problem is CGI/apache stores the old value and display the same for a while or soemthing like that..
Any one please help to resolve this problem?

If i do CNTR+F5 it works properly..

I'm using the below CGI script. (Note: I also use startup.pl script to load some modules while apache start) 

use CGI qw(:cgi-lib :standard);
use CGI::Carp qw ( fatalsToBrowser );

use JSON::Parse 'parse_json';
use REST::Client;
my $client = REST::Client->new();
$client->setHost('http://localhost');

my $query = new CGI();

$query->import_names('Q');
my $adId = $Q::adId;

#my $adId = $query->param("adId");


print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print $adId;
