in thread Is mod_perl handling requests, or not?

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*.

    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 :)
