dave_the_m,
Ok. I know you are trying to help and I appreciate that, but what tells me that just because a module is in the core I should use perlbug to file a report against it? I certainly wouldn't have thought to do that if the problem was with CGI as I would have emailed Lincoln.

I suspect that by not contacting the maintainer and sending a "this seems wrong to me" message to p5p - I will get every opinion in the book as to how to solve the problem with no action, no response at all, or a "wrong place kid" response.

Since you are the only person replying to this thread - I just may do that. I don't really feel that strongly about it to fight for though. I just wanted to raise some awareness about how an error message could be more user friendly.

Cheers - L~R
