Re^2: Is mod_perl handling requests, or not?

Ok. http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current/Changes also states this change.

Though, I would have thought that seeing as GATEWAY_INTERFACE is standard, it would be reflective of the handler.
Now I need to check out why open() is giving me greif.

GATEWAY_INTERFACE is defined in the CGI spec and from the spec The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a simple interface for running external programs There's nothing external about any of the mod_xxxs ... so in this case, mod_perl is doing the right thing. Your server still supports cgi ... you're just not using it. The environment variables are not about what the server did but what it can do. -derby	[reply]

I understand all that. I have just been led to believe from mod_perl documentation that GATEWAY_INTERFACE reflects the handler of the request. Of course, there are other environment variables that are relative to the request/session ie; REMOTE_ADDR etc. But im not going to worry about it too much :) Seeing as I have loaded the dynamic shared object, and am able to load perl modules from httpd.conf, I figure mod_perl is rolling anyhow. Thanks for the replies guys :)	[reply]
