I've been trying to figure out how to use Apache2::Request/RequestRec/Upload for the past couple of days and I've run into an interesting mod_perl problem. Tonight after a lot of struggle I thought of pasting a code snippet from the Apache.org website:

    use Apache2::Upload;

    $req = Apache2::Request->new($r);
    $upload = $req->upload("foo");
    $size = $upload->size;

    # three methods to get at the upload's contents ... slurp, fh, io

    $upload->slurp($slurp_data);

    read $upload->fh, $fh_data, $size;
    ok $slurp_data eq $fh_data;

    my $io = $upload->io;
    print while <$io>;

Unfortunately while I would have sworn it ran when I first tried it, I'm now getting a 500 Internal Server Error and the following in my log (no matter what test scripts I run, not just this one):

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Make test ran 100% okay, and my httpd.conf does include "LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so" and "LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so".

Many thanks!
