I'm not a mod_perl internals expert to any degree, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if STDOUT and STDERR were actually tied variables to an Apache subclass. In which case, the error message might start to make a bit more sense.

In fact, the docs say just that. See http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#STDIN__STDOUT_and_STDERR_streams for the nitty-gritty. That whole section might be interesting.

BTW, I'm having a hard time parsing your node title. Are you sure things can disappear things in English?

In reply to Re: mod_perl seems to have disappeared the open function by rhesa
in thread mod_perl seems to have disappeared the open function by talexb
